the moon is made of butter fat
the sun is made of cheese
if i’m not pendicular

the moon is made of blubber paste
the sun is made of grain
if i’m not rizontical
please ship me north by train
I draw a veil over what happened when the spear leaf triffid in the lower left foreground made its move.
The officers were dressed in the costume which we found prevailed through the country – a broad-brimmed hat, usually of a black or dark brown color, with a gilt or figured band round the crown, and lined inside with silk; a short jacket of silk or figured calico, (the European skirted body-coat is never worn;) the shirt open in the neck; rich waistcoat, if any; pantaloons wide, straight, and long, usually of velvet, velveteen or broadcloth; or else short breeches and white stockings.

Convenience? They had been frightfully dedicated one to the other when both were human, though when pressed into maritime service, they had to admit they quarreled from time to time when swabbing. Nevertheless, it was most fortunate for the pair to be strolling in a nice neighborhood when they were transformed. I mean, their normal haunts were skid rows and ship bilges. This, I suppose, is the reason that their love story was never celebrated in song. Some guy created a ballet for mimes about it, though. It wasn’t much good.
