The Spoonbill Generator

Nipple Tussock

I did it for the sake of her [Surlaw]

She than whom no other [Apsley]

She than whom the Crocodile [Surlaw]

Has no greater kind of smile [Apsley]

Than has the daughter's mother [Surlaw]

She viewed it, though, with great contempt [Apsley]

Nor were the coelacanths exempt [Surlaw]

From serving in the army corps [Apsley]

To clean each window, dust each door [Surlaw]

Lest should they turn too unkempt [Apsley]

I warn you lest a mystery gland [Surlaw]

Should cause the playing of The Band [Apsley]

To soar to febrile apogees [Surlaw]

Deserving frank apologies [Apsley]

That none can understand [Surlaw]

We reverence, but soon depise, [Apsley]

The mysteries of Madonna's eyes [Surlaw]

Manufactured in the lab [Apsley]

That prunes unwanted flab [Surlaw]

From sundry old fruit pies [Apsley]
