Rumpus Revelation
My medical van was nearing Scraff, a town of rumpus revelation. For in this place, the little dog laughed, down on the farmer’s plantation.
The mouse ran up the clock with Clyde, and all the King’s men did smell. I met a man with seven wives - draped with silver bells and cockleshells.
In the big barn, in front of me, drunken sailors began to dance, and the fiddles went tweedle-dee; the captain was a duck at first glance!
In the crazy crowd, who were much too slow, if the bowl had been stronger, they’d sleep. Three pigs passed out, and four to go as I sheared them like flocks of shy sheep.
When they all awoke, at the break of dawn, they were neither up nor down in their stalls. Some like it hot in the pot and were drawn, to the aspirin and trough down the hall.
