Two friendly Lampreys met one day:

“Good day!” “Well-met!” I heard them say.

Now, I’ve seen strange things in my time—

To hear them you would pay a dime!

Speaking of “hear,” I’ve heard things too—

Things that would turn your mind to goo!

But still, to hear those Lampreys talk

As I was going for a walk

Has got to be the strangest tale

You’ve heard of since the Singing Whale.
