Shake Rattle & Roll

“Let’s dance!” said Captain Bagabones

then suddenly discordant tones

like decomposing xylophones

rang dreadfully across the stones

and with a clatter rather grim

some carcasses performed for him

discarding their departing scrim

to satisfy his morbid whim.

When Bony G took out his flute

the whole revue had quite a hoot

they knew his airs were destitute

he didn’t have the wind to toot.
