                ‘Twas terrible the barby greaves

                  Did pyre and slimber on the dume;

                All groppy were the burraflees

                  And the flurid blanes were troom.

                 

                Beware the Frohtuck, please beware!

                  The toothless flob, the sightless frab.

                Beware the carracarrabat, and run

                  Fast from the clumbling prab.

                 

                Sledderclob grabbed his trusty sword

                  And driddled through the Mory Fran.

                Then he crossed the Mixel Netherford

                  And rested gently on the cran.

                 

                Then with a privel glint of hand

                  The Frohtuck came with hair betract.

                Then pruffing o’er the preevy sand

                  His fliching sneezum cracked.

                One two, one two, through and through

                  Sledderclob advanced with spreed.

                He drubbed the Frohtuck by his proo

                  And did the fatal deed.

                 

                The Frohtuck lay with brickling clud

                  Upon the cluby dranit sand.

                Whilst fluvered Sledderclob looked down,

                  His sword still in his hand.

                 

                ‘Twas terrible the garby greaves

                  Did pyre and slimber on the dume;

                All groppy were the burraflees

                  And the flurid blanes were troom.
