Tis the voice of the lobster

Tis the voice of the lobster, I heard him declare,
You have baked me too brown! I must sugar my hair.

As a duck with it's eyelids, so he with his nose,
must trim his belt and his buttons and turn out his toes.

When the sanda are dry, he is gay as a lark,
and will talk in contemptuous tones of the shark.

But when the tide rises, and sharks are around,
his voice has a timid and tremulous sound.

Lewis Carroll
