No doubt they are yelping and yapping like mad;

In such hobbles cantankerous spleen lands—rous spleen lands.

I peacefully sprawl on the turf, and am glad;

The Blue Devils never reach Greenlands—reach Greenlands.

By Jove, they have led me a doose of a life!

Their conduct is sheer criminality—nality.

Here, though, thank Heaven, I'm far from the strife,

Here the wicked won't vex Old Morality—rality!

True, 'tisn't for long, a clear week at the most.

They would worry us out of our Whitsuntide—Whitsuntide.
