There were nuts and cloves and berries but The crust it was stuck on with glue. There were caraway seeds in abundance, It would give yer a fine stomach ache 'Twould kill any man twice to be eatin' A slice of Mrs Hooligan's Christmas cake. As I sat in me window last evenin' A letterman came unto me. He'd a nice little neat invitation Sayin' "Won't you come over to tea?" I knew it was Hooligan sent it So I went for our friendship's sake and The first thing he gave me to tackle Was a slice of Mrs. Hooligan's cake.  lessan>

I can still see it, its grey roof in The grey of The water pressens dans la tour de bois ma demeure la folie I have a presentiment in The tower of wood of my dwelling place, of madness la folie le silence of madness, of silence clos clos vigilance Closed in, closed in but keeping watch Oh Ne pas altérer ce qui reste, et le doit. Oh never change what remains and should remain "Was bleibt aber stiften die Dichter." What remains, however, is The stuff of poetry.  lessan>
