Morloc's Merriment

There was an old man of mud,
Who fell out the bath with a thud.
When asked of his plight,
He blamed his poor sight
And now roams The Land in the nud!

There was an old man in the heath,
Who sat on his own false teeth.
Said he with a start
"Oh Lord, bless my heart!"
"I’ve bitten myself underneath!"

As I was going out one day
My head fell off and rolled away.
But when I saw that it was gone,
I picked it up and put it on!

Those snarling apes are a funny bunch,
That make me mostly flee.
They always make me their main lunch,
So I have to lose my T.

They bare their fangs and make a sound,
To scare and intimidate me.
But there’s a place that they've not found,
Which is why I'm drinking Tea.

The Goblins are gluttonous and rude,
They gug and gumble with their food.
They throw their crumbs upon the floor,
And at dessert they tease for more.
They will not eat their soup and bread,
But like to gobble heroes, instead.
And that is why I do decline,
When I am asked to stay and dine.
