AT THE END OF THE WORLD

At the end of the world is an office Occupied by a purple crawfish

—

He sits all day beneath the moonlight — And when a polar bear comes up, he

grabs him and gives a bite

Sometimes he makes icecream Out of a red iceberg -

And munches the cold slippery stuff

Without uttering a word-

He loves a mermaid in a snow brassiere -

Who thinks eating red icebergs

Is

Oh! very dear -

In the spring he cuts a slice of cheese

From the square moon

And feeds it to the Iceland fleas

Who with delight of course swoon
