Who Desecrates the Vector?
Make a portrait of King George upon the very sod
Make a portrait of King George carrying a cod
Make a point of peeping
Make a tea worth steeping
Make a portrait like to please the very face of God
Sing the praise of Bonaparte on Elba's scented isle
Sing the praise of them who eat and those that merely smile
Sing the song of those who sail the Nile
Sing a threne that Watt might rile
Sing a song of sixpence, and don't be infantile!
Put some paper on the fire until it starts to catch
Put some oil upon the door to hush the squeaky latch
Put some order in your life
Rid yourself of daily strife,
Put yourself about a bit and find the perfect match!
Ease your feet into your shoes and squeeze them till they murmur
Ease the dog's discomfiture by feeding him a wormer
Ease the bolt until it squeaks
Ease yourself into your breeks
Ease the diaper off the babe and beware 'cause he's a squirmer!
Eat while you talk to kings of old because they never listen
Eat until there's nothing left but the things that dimly glisten
Eat nothing bigger than your head
Read nothing that cannot be read,
Eat until your innards ape the sound of kettles hiss'n!
