    The camels all froze

    Now, once in a luscious oasis
    Was cast a spell of Temporal Stasis
    The camels all froze
    We were stuck in a pose
    And we couldn't tie even our laces.

    Rode a horseman who wore a bandanna
    His saddle of leather
    Was as light as a feather
    Which suited his horse, Pollyanna.

    There was an old man from Caerphilly

    There was an old man from Caerphilly
    Who was soft on a young girl called Millie.
    It would be more sage
    To choose one nearer in age
    But she was such a beautiful filly.

    One day in the Pump Room at Bath
    Entered two men named Simon and Garth
    They'd argue and shout
    'Til they both got thrown out
    Where they grappled around on the path

    There was once a poodle puppy called Pip
    Who at barking was prone to let rip.
    But when sent to the pound
    He made not a sound

    There was once a poodle puppy called Pip
    Who at barking was prone to let rip.
    But when sent to the pound
    He tripled the sound
    When he got the malthusian snip.

    My country, when viewed on a map,
    Where its belly is, looks like a flap.
    It bulges right out,
    almost meeting its snout,
    And ends with a doff of its cap.
