The Spoonbill Generator

Narrow Trousers in Pimlico

When the wallet of the wealthy with fivers stiff is stuffed [The Agent Apsley]

Sing Ho! for the life of a bear! [trad]

When the maid has turned the bed down, and pillows all are fluffed [TG]

Why should a hedonist care? [Roland]

Why should anyone care? [TG]

When the pockets of the pauper wave idly in the wind [Roland]

Sing Hey! for the life of a Pooh! [TG]

When the maid has turned the man down, and he's not a bit thick-skinned [Roland]

What can a masochist do? [TG]

What can anyone do? [Stacy]

When the brimstone of Beelzebub reeks pungent through the land [TG]

Sing Hush! for the Name of the Rose [Roland]

When the townsfolk have been banished, and no revenge is planned [P]

When can the vigilant doze? [TG]

When can anyone doze? [P]
