Spell Chick

But even The Sun turned her down.
"You may be the talk of the town
but you'll not grace our pages
without consulting the sages

but you'll not grace our pages
without consulting the sages -

There was a young sportsman from Spain
whose arsehole was causing him pain.

whose arsehole was causing him pain.

Gyppo

But the flint in the Zippo had bust -
as they will, at the first sign of rust.
So it just wouldn't spark

Spell Chick

But the flint in the Zippo had bust -
as they will, at the first sign of rust.
So it just wouldn't spark
The night remained dark
Imperfect Reason My thoughts, such as they are.
