There was a young man from Sylvester,
Who is a professional vomit cleaner,
Enjoys scrubbing a good spit,
With his special tool kit,
And known as “Regurgitator” on his banner.

There was a young lady from Deventer,
Who works as a bicycle fisher,
Skillful with a crane,
Likes a good champagne,
And plans to make a dream catcher.

There was a bearded man from North Gower,
Who is an iceberg mover,
Simply bright,
Great in height,
And resistant to chilly winter.

There was a witty mother,
Who is a fortune cookie writer,
Grumpy all day,
Fussy about pay,
In possession of a four-leaf clover.

There was a great friend from Apocalypse,
Who is a well known ash artist,
Kept thousands of urns,
Collectors of ferns,
And also an iconophilist.
