What it all was about,

By list'ning to all that was done and was said;

But somehow his balance became uncontrolled,

And he on the plastering heavily rolled.

And fell on the heads of the folks with a smash.

And there his plump limbs through the orifice swung,

And he caught by the arms and disgracefully hung,

His ponderous body, so clumsy and thick,
