The Spoonbill Generator

Crustaceans In Error

To wait upon the late express       [Apsley ]

With full tureen in hand       [Roland ]

A shroud? Misheard - but I digress       [yoxi ]

This crock is full of sand       [Yonghy ]

That cannot pass for soup, unless       [Roland ]

The driver lend a hand       [Apsley ]

Our menu being so diverse       [Roland ]

That men from many lands       [Apsley ]

Whose form and function is perverse       [Roland ]

And no-one understands       [Chevalier ]

Their meaning – such do stomp and curse       [Roland ]

Upon the drifting sands       [Apsley ]

And thus, while locomotives rust       [Roland ]

Onto the waiting tracks,       [Apsley ]

The nuns career, insane with lust       [Roland ]

And dressed in heavy sacks,       [Apsley ]

That swathe the limbs, but not the bust       [Bex ]

Which it scarcely lacks       [Apsley ]
