Mud Fondues
Set the lines and read the signs
and do it so discretely
A kid will make odd designs with cypress vines
and do it so completely
Put the shots and play the slots
and do it so discretely
A kid will make polka dots with blue cumquats
and do it so completely
Hit the marks and save the sharks
and do it so discretely
A kid will make Noah's arks with woody barks
and do it so completely
See the sights and wing the flights
and do it so discretely
A kid will make all delights with greater kites
and do it so completely
Eat the stews and sip the brews
and do it so discretely
A kid will make mud fondues with tacky goos
and do it so completely
