haunt of the hungred bordles, as it is told me. Shop Illicit,1
flourishing like a lordmajor or a buaboabaybohm, litting flop2
a deadlop (aloose!) to lee but lifting a bennbranch a yardalong3
(Ivoeh!) the breezy side (for showm!), the height of Brew-4

ing his share of the showthers is senken on him he's such a6
grandfallar, with a pocked wife in pickle that's a flyfire and three7
lice nittle clinkers, two twilling bugs and one midgit pucelle.8
And aither he cursed and recursed and was everseen doing what9
your fourfootlers saw or he was never done seeing what you cool-10
pigeons know, weep the clouds aboon for smiledown witnesses,11
and that'll do now about the fairyhees and the frailyshees.12
Though Eset fibble it to the zephiroth and Artsa zoom it round13

ones a creation. White monothoid? Red theatrocrat? And all the15
pinkprophets cohalething? Very much so! But however 'twas16
tis sure for one thing, what sherif Toragh voucherfors and17

Esc, overseen as we thought him, yet a worthy of the naym,19
came at this timecoloured place where we live in our paroqial20

wherry, the twin turbane dhow, The Bey for Dybbling, this22
archipelago's first visiting schooner, with a wicklowpattern23
waxenwench at her prow for a figurehead, the deadsea dugong24
updipdripping from his depths, and has been repreaching him-25
self like a fishmummer these siktyten years ever since, his shebi26

changing cane sugar into sethulose starch (Tuttut's cess to him!)28

from his nature, which you may gauge after the bynames was31

hands were employed so she never knew was she on land or at14
sea or swooped through the blue like Airwinger's bride. She15
was flirtsome then and she's fluttersome yet. She can second a16
song and adores a scandal when the last post's gone by. Fond of17
a concertina and pairs passing when she's had her forty winks18
for supper after kanekannan and abbely dimpling and is in her19
merlin chair assotted, reading her Evening World. To see is20

final tear. Zee End. But that's a world of ways away. Till track29
