CBIDSSING 'nm LINEg Some Pollywogs Go Shellback Hunting The S.lf.W.A. Gets ln His Licks. lSenlor Pollywog Aboardl To A Slimey Polliwog I like to help a lriend in need, The lonely sparrows I like to leed. I like stray cats and puppy dogs, I loathe the sight ot polliwogsl A palliwog's a slimey thing, No praise about him can I sing. He has a tail ..... He has a head, The stagnant water is his bed. He breathes through gills, He has no nose. He never comes up, To smell like a rose. He has his troubles ..... you must agree, He isn't as happy as you and me. l'd be alraid il I were you, To lind out what the Shellbacks clo. Their lriendship now must turn to hate, As they make plans to initiate. So buck up, lads, you're on the brink, It's getting later than you think. Just walk in straight and narrow tracks, And beware ol all the old Shellbacks. The Impartial Royal Ch0PlUln POLLYWOG DAY
