The Octopods and Reptiles,

They dine at 6 o’clock,

And having dined rush wildly out

Like an electric shock.

They hang about the bannisters

The corridors they block

And gabbling bothering

A most unpleasant flock.

They hang about the bannisters

Upon the stairs they flock

And howly-gabbling all the while

The corridors they block.
