When parties go "bouncing" and "boning."
But when Johnny the Briton caught sight of the Frank
Making tracks with a lobster—the whoppingest one—
And when he perceived the impertinent Yank
With the seal—such a spanker!—skedaddling like fun,
He stood and he shouted, "Stop thief! Hi! Hold hard!"
For language does not always "go by the card,"
When parties go "bouncing" and "boning."
"Now then, you sea-grabbers," he bellowed, "Belay!
I suppose you imagine I'm out of it quite.
