Old Potatoes, rancid things, it’s bad to ignore the phone which rings.

Spider crap and June-bug decay, this is what happens to a slept-in day.

Rotten wine from mushroom maggot. You might as well tell the Grocer to bag it.

If you can’t say yes when the wind is fine. You’ve no right to eat where the laborer’s dine.

If you paint for me even one thing which is true, perhaps I’ll be tempted to consider two. I tell tales poetically, someone else needs to set them to music.
