...as my then two-year-old granddaughter said when
she turned the crank one last turn and the Jack-in-the-Box went
POP goes the Weasel!

...The billiards sharp whom anyone catches,
HIs doom's extremely hard;
He's made to dwell in a dungeon cell
On a spot that's always barred,

And there he plays extravagant matches
In FITLESS fingerstalls
On a cloth untrue
.With a twisted cue
..And elliptical billiard balls!
[laughing maniacally]
