And he turned into a frog,

And became four leg equine male,

Eat Chinese with no spoon -
only sticks, and have occasionally sherry.

There was a Young Lady of Basel,
Who would never say tov mazel;
She would draw, and she would think,
And she would never have a drink,

In the City that was somehow split:
The lives of those very busy
Would have been staying particular easy
If they hadn't called for Galina Galit.
