Where men all had masks on their face.

To ensure he’ll be alone with the cocks.

And escaped from that man of the Alps.

That was so incredibly fat
That, when it would purr,
Its jiggling fur
Would take up the whole of her flat

Is protected by guards and a fence,
Which ensure that the poor
Will not come to his door
To request that he spare a few cents.
