The Spoonbill Generator

Perwinkle Trout Wrack

His boots were made of manta ray, [Hagfish]

His hat from leaves and twigs. [Anon.]

His cloak was stitched from curds and whey [Kansas Sam]

His underwear from figs. [Tiger Spot]

His home was half a porpoise [Hagfish]

His yard was half a sea [Kansas Sam]

He'd half a mind to tell you off [Hagfish]

If half a mind had he [Kansas Sam]

His sights were set on lower things [Hagfish]

His hopes on slugs and fleas [Kansas Sam]

He sought the grace of nettle stings [Hagfish]

And placed them on his knees [mcb]

One day he fetched up on the shore [tnh]

A whelk he'd loved and lost [Hagfish]

And though that molusk was a whore [Kevin Andrew Murphy]

He'd never been so tossed. [Hagfish]
