When Neptune Filled His Boots (Nonsense)
When Bibble he would a bounding swim
Boundless glore upon his fizzog
Splashed he breastie ways and overlimb
Swimming swifty like a croc log
Quiet stealth he’d swimmy creep
Both overland and overseas
Until upon toasted stooks he’d leap
Climbed the highest Groolam trees
Came then Krabb and turning Turtle
Came then coughing Doobah birds
Nurbling yams and wee ferky Furtles
All whiddling cheese from Beezie curds
Neth the dust spins the bite and nippy
Brazen brassy and frothing spitties
All parlour web and sticky drippy
Midst spiralling lift and chimney titties
Free frying flowering Frootie fish
All beachy brine in their weather coats
From beneath the sea in a big tin dish
Despite the Flishmac’s rowing boats
King Neptune was filling his boots
The cold North wind against his face
While two barn owls exchanged shrill hoots
Singing ‘Amazing Grace’
They both suffered badly from the bends
And although it was a one horse race
This is where my wee story ends

Well done, Gus. I so admire you. Nasty jab at WOL though, my word.
