All these years I thought I was slightly unhinged!

Now I realise I'm actually a "nonsense" genius!

Flibble Fish, velcro undergarments, Arise! Sir Yellow Ears!


Now it all makes sense...

Ok, you win... But the following poem, which doesn't contain your line anywhere, is mine for keeps. It's a thought-provoking little meditation on the fragility of existence, in case you were wondering...

Ears! Undergarments! Yellow Velcro - Sir Flibble, Arise!
Undergarments, Yellow Velcro Ears - Arise, Sir Flibble Fish!
Yellow Velcro - Arise, Sir Flibble Fish! Ears! Undergarments!
Yellow Velcro Ears! - Sir Flibble Fish! Ears!

Ears! Undergarments! Yellow Velcro Ears - Arise, Sir Flibble, Arise!
Undergarments, Yellow Velcro Ears! Undergarments! Yellow Velcro Ears!
Undergarments! Yellow Velcro - Arise, Sir Flibble Fish!
Yellow Velcro - Arise!
