The Spoonbill Generator

This poem was written by Walter Raleigh [Apsley]

Captain Scott and my Aunt Sally [loaf]

Major Burns and Tweety Bird [Dassn't Say]

And (saints preserve us) Douglas Hurd [Roland]

O' they'll squeeze the knees of Pericles [Ventnor]

And spike the bug juice of sage Socrates [Dassns't Say]

Just to touch my Heraclitus [Apsley]

Such manoeuvres don't delight us [loaf]

So I beat the drum that came from Rhum [Apsley]

And gaze athwart the Skye [loaf]

And shake my booty and my bum [Dassn't Say]

Into your great and shiny eye [Apsley]
