Ramsgate Station (1066)
When mice attack a quarter-back
Or gnaw the goalpost through
I grab my sword - and snicker-snack! -
Callay becomes Calloo!
I chop those mice, not once or twice
But many times a day
For in a trice - when cooked with rice -
Calloo becomes Callay
When mice play chess, they push a rook
Into the corner square
Then make a mess when they all cook
Callaloo leaves there
Sad mice abound in East Peru
By Lake Titicaca
While an (expatriate) gnu
From Calais goes gaga
When mice score goals in their mouse holes
With banners waving gaily
They save their little mousy souls
And flaunt their ukelele
