He bent right down to pick up his valise
The answer is they could be twins full-grown
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
And loudly sang off-key without a tone
The roundabout eats profits made on swings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
A daring baron pockets precious Mings
In purest cradels tha's how they behave
Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can't depress
Or grinning like a pale-faced golliwog
On wheels the tourist follows hos hostess
Southern baroque's seductive dialogue
Where no one bothered how one warmed one's bum
Fried grilled black pudding's still the world's best yum


Raymond Queneau
