Victorian Squid |
Victorian squid is a delight |
For all the family because |
It’s greasy and hot |
When you’ve had lots |
Then you’ll want more |
There’s old H.G. Wells |
Lying in bed |
With his new housekeeper with |
Hot squid by their side |
Glowing with pride |
Flushed with exhaustion |
Victorian lungs |
Victorian skin |
Victorian tongues |
Victorian sin |
Victorian parks |
Victorian moans |
Victorians darkness |
Victorian squid down on the beach |
Is an embarrassment to |
Respectable girls |
Walking with pearls |
And their fiances |
«Oh, Edward my love |
Is that a squid?» |
«Yes, I fear so, my pet |
But, pray, leave it alone |
Let us go home |
And take some cocoa.» |
Victorian arms |
Victorian legs |
Victorian charms |
Victorian eggs |
Victorian boys |
Victorian girls |
Victorian darkness |
Every night our |
Voices meet in |
Darkness |
Clicking feet on |
Hollow streets the |
Fanlight falls a- |
Cross the city |
Onto me and |
Mistress Kitty |
Pray that someone |
Breaches her be- |
Tween the walnut |
And the fur to |
Where she keeps her |
Real secret |
Hid |
She’s a Victorian squid |
