So I've jotted them down here for reference: ========== Much too long, I could never learn it. :-) Besides I thought the PDML song was "Oh, cormorant, my cormorant..." (Well, set to music.)

What they gave us you'll never guess It's a mystery you must all confess Cleaner than Monica's dress! It's a camera! Yes, a camera! They gave us a camera and lens For each of us. Yes, even Jens. It's more useful than 300 pens! It's a camera! Yes, a camera! Taking snaps of a handsome bird Is much sweeter than lemon curd And more thrilling than Douglas Hurd! It's a corm'rant! In my camera!
