The Spoonbill Generator

Bartók's Drawing-Room

In a dream, I bit off my boss's leg [fester]

And three elbows grew in its place [Roland]

Then he was abducted by aliens [fester]

Who lived in the side of his face [loaf]

Every day they would eat more of his brain [fester]

While he would be gorging on them [Roland]

Thus it was that he renounced the name Garold [Apsley]

And settled for being called Clem [fester]

That dream ... it was long-hence forgotten [Roland]

When sporelets of their mother sought release [Apsley]

[Anon.]

Behind all anfractuous flowerets? [E Greejius]

I never could figure it out [Beefy]

What a muppet, huh? [Apsley]
