silly

Praise to the Lord, who created both Geordies and Scousers!
Praise him for making thy housecats such excellent mousers!
He in his care
When thou hast nothing to wear
Sendeth thee new pairs of trousers.

	Independent; where does Eliot use it? Somewhere in Old Possum, I assume? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Indeed. Bustopher Jones, specifically. I suspected it was independent, but it's such an unusual rhyme that that was the first thing I thought of. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
