[lit-ideas] Sunday Twofer

la cousine du dauphin et de la langoustine
was slowly getting fat and hopeless
where oh where did that hannoverian officer go
she moaned
he looked so good in a kilt
not to worry pet
said the honest old retainer who is necessary to all such stories
we'll take a little run down to marseilles
and you'll be thinner by the time we get back
that's four hundred miles
and even more kilometers
she exclaimed
already feeling that feeling which creeps over a person who experiences loss 
and great exertion



schmutz and schmied went out to eat
said schmutz to schmied let's have some cheese
said schmied to schmutz you can't beat cheese
but do let's try to keep it clean
