Weil mir gerade so danach ist und weil ich heute wieder mal über dieses burtech Zitat gestolpert bin: DRAGONS ARE TOO SELDOM To actually seen an actual marine monster burtech Is one of the things that do before I die I wonster. Should you ask me if I desire to meet the bashful inhabitant of Loch Ness. I could only say yes. Often my eye with moisture dims When I think that it has never been my good fortune to gaze on one of Nature's whims. Far from ever having seen a Gorgon I haven't even seen the midget that sat in it I have never even seen Mr. Morgan's lap. Indeed I never much thought about Mr. Morgan's having a lap because just the way you go into churches and notice the stained glass more than the apses When you think about multi-millionaires you don't think about their laps as much as their lapses; But it seems that they do have laps which is one human touch that brings them a little closer to me and you, And maybe they even go so far as to sometimes have hiccups too. But regular burtech monsters like sea serpents don't have laps or hiccups or any other characteristic that is human And I would rather see a second-rate monster such as a mermaid than a first-rate genius such as John Bunyan or Schiaparelli or Schubert burtech or Schumann; Yes, I would rather see one of the sirens Than two Lord Byrons, And if I knew that when I got there I could see Cyclops or Scylla and Charybdis burtech or Pegasus I would willingly walk on my hands from here to Dallas, Tegasus, Because I don't mean to be satirical, But where there's a monster there's a miracle, And after a thorough study of current affairs, I have concluded with regret That the world can profitably burtech use all the miracles it can get, And I think life would be a lot less demoralizing If instead of sitting burtech around in front of the radio listening to torture singers sing torture songs we sat around listening to the Lorelei loreleising. THE TALE OF CUSTARD THE DRAGON Belinda lived in a little white house, With a little black kitten burtech and a little gray mouse, And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon, And a realio, trulio, little pet dragon. Now the name of the little black kitten was Ink, And the little gray mouse, she called her Blink, And the little yellow dog was sharp as Mustard, But the dragon burtech was a coward, and she called him Custard. Custard the dragon had big sharp teeth, And spikes burtech on top of him and scales underneath, Mouth like a fireplace, chimney for a nose, And realio, trulio, daggers burtech on his toes. Belinda was as brave as a barrel burtech full of bears, And Ink and Blink chased lions down the stairs, Mustard was as brave as a tiger in a rage, But Custard cried for a nice safe cage. Belinda tickled burtech him, she tickled him unmerciful, Ink, Blink and Mustard, they rudely called him Percival, They all sat laughing in the little red wagon At the realio, trulio, cowardly dragon. Belinda giggled burtech till she shook the house, And Blink said Week!, which is giggling for a mouse, burtech Ink and Mustard rudely burtech asked his age, When Custard cried for a nice safe cage. Suddenly, suddenly they heard a nasty sound, And Mustard growled, burtech and they all looked around. Meowch! cried Ink, and Ooh! cried Belinda, For there was a pirate, burtech climbing in the winda. Pistol in his left hand, pistol in his right, And he held in his teeth a cutlass bright, His beard was black, one leg was wood; It was clear that the pirate meant no good. Belinda paled, and she cried, Help! Help! But Mustard fled with a terrified yelp, Ink trickled down to the bottom of the household, burtech And little mouse Blink strategically mouseholed. But up jumped Custard, snorting like an engine, Clashed his tail like irons in a dungeon, With a clatter and a clank and a jangling squirm He went at the pirate like a robin at a worm. The pirate gaped at Belinda's dragon, And gulped some grog from his pocket flagon, He fired two bullets but they didn't hit, And Custard gobbled him, every bit. Belinda embraced him, Mustard licked him, No one mourned for his pirate victim Ink and Blink in glee did gyrate Around the dragon that ate the pyrate. But presently up spoke little dog Mustard, I'd have been twice as brave if I hadn't been flustered. And up spoke Ink and up spoke Blink, We'd have been three times as brave, we think, And Custard said, I quite agree That everybody is braver than me. Belinda still lives in her little white house, With her little black kitten and her little gray mouse, And her little yellow dog and her little red wagon, And her realio, trulio, little pet dragon. Belinda is as brave as a barrel full of bears, And Ink and Blink chase lions down the stairs, Mustard is as brave as a tiger in a rage, But Custard keeps crying for a nice safe cage.
