It chanced one day in the middle of MayA
There came to the great King SploshB
A policeman who said while scratching his headC
There isn't a stone in GoshB
To throw at a dog for the crafty OgD
Last Saturday week at oneE
Took our last blue metal in order to settleF
A bill for a toy pop gun 'G
Said the King jokinglyH
'Why how provokinglyH
Weird but we have the gun 'G
-
And the King said 'Well we are stony broke '-
But the Queen could not see it was much of a jokeI
And she said 'If the metal is all used upJ
Pray what of the costume I want for the CupJ
It all seems so dreadfully simple to meH
The stones Why import them from over the sea '-
But a Glug stood up with a mole on his chinK
And said with a most diabolical grinK
'Your Majesties down in the country of PodgeL
A spy has discovered a very 'cute dodgeL
And the Ogs are determined to wage a warM
On Gosh next Friday at half past four '-
Then the Glugs all cried in a terrible frightN
'How did our grandfathers manage a fight '-
-
Then the Knight Sir Stodge he opened his BookO
And he read 'Some very large stones they tookO
And flung at the foe with exceeding forceP
Which was very effective tho' rude of course '-
And lo with sorrowful wails and moansQ
The Glugs cried 'Where Oh where are the stones '-
And some rushed North and a few ran WestR
Seeking the substitutes seeming bestR
And they gathered the pillows and cushions and rugsS
From the homes of the rich and middle class GlugsS
And a hasty message they managed to sendT
Craving the loan of some bricks from a friendT
-
On the Friday exactly at half past fourM
Came the Ogs with triumphant gleeH
And the first of their stones hit poor Mister GhonesS
The captain of industryH
Then a pebble of Podge took the Knight Sir StodgeL
In the curve of his convex vestR
He gurgled 'Un Gluggish ' His heart growing sluggishB
He solemnly sank to restR
'Tis inconceivableH
Scarcely believableH
Yet he was sent to restR
-
And the King said 'Ouch ' And the Queen said ' oU
My bee ootiful drawing room What shall I do '-
But the warlike Ogs they hurled great rocksS
Thro' the works of the wonderful eight day clocksS
They had sold to the Glugs but a month beforeM
Which was very absurd but of course 'twas warM
And the Glugs cried 'What would our grandfathers doV
If they hadn't the stones that they one time threw '-
But the Knight Sir Stodge and his mystic BookO
Oblivious slept in a grave yard nookO
-
Then a Glug stood out with a pot in his handW
As the King was bewailing the fate of his landW
And he said 'If these Ogs you desire to retardX
Then hit them quite frequent with anything hard '-
So the Glugs seized anvils and editors' chairsS
And smote the Ogs with them unawaresS
And bottles of pickles and clocks they threwV
And books of poems and gherkins and glueV
Which they'd bought with the stones as of course you knowU
From the Ogs but a couple of months agoU
Which was simply inane when you reason it o'erY
And uneconomic but then it was warM
-
When they'd fought for a night and the most of a dayA
The Ogs threw the last of their metal awayA
Then they went back to Podge well content with their funE
And with much satisfaction declared they had wonE
And the King of the Glugs gazed around on his landW
And saw nothing but stones strewn on every handW
Great stones in the palace and stones in the streetZ
And stones on the house tops and under the feetZ
And he said with a desperate look on his faceS
'There is nothing so ghastly as stones out of placeS
And no doubt this Og scheme was a very smart dodgeL
But whom does it profit my people or Podge '-
