And, like a walrus, plunge into the deep;

Then jump out in a trice,

Dissevering the icicles as you leap,

Even though the after-glow

Of virtue melts the circumjacent snow.

And we of milder mould,

And we who're growing old,

Wish they would wash, like other folk, elsewhere;

It makes us feel quite cold

To think of them refrigerating there;
