The Spoonbill Generator

Louse, Louise

Feasting on the gouts of blood       [Apsley ]

That jetted from her neck       [loaf ]

Pete, assisted well by Dud,       [Apsley ]

Dived from the upper deck       [loaf ]

And glimpsed big bathing       [Apsley ]

Beauties on the half-abandoned wreck       [Chevalier ]

Some of them were dugongs; yet       [loaf ]

He didn't care a jot:       [Apsley ]

Judging by their silhouette       [loaf ]

They once adorned a yacht,       [Apsley ]

In skimpy costumes       [loaf ]

Garnered from some half-abandoned spot       [Apsley ]

Mermaids, by another name       [loaf ]

Would still appear as cute       [Chevalier ]

But when a dugong looks the same       [loaf ]

As just another newt,       [Apsley ]

We can't but wonder       [loaf ]

Idly at their half-abandoned suit       [Apsley ]
