Red Henries

 

All along the midnight rambling

The samba crews were near

The sweet smell of herring gambling

Brought the night light still with fear

 

So whither walks the midland fairy

Whose quiver stuffed with rabbit fur

Eats long the whisky whiskers hairy

Or drinks with him as if with her

 

But far from fairies o’er the land

And near to Henry’s Henries’ ships

The view from there was ne’er grand

As to fill ones heart with pursing lips

 

Thus were all the kings of lore to die

Thus did the princes’ wives all lie
