The Mad Vogon's Song
(with thanks to both Sylvie and Bruno)
He thought he saw a Frablingsmythe
Hiding behind some trees
He looked again, and found it was
His middle sister's knees
I wonder why, he suddenly thought,
These things occur in threes?
He thought he saw a Greeblingbird
A-floating in the air.
He looked again, and found it was
A length of ragged hair
‘Twas then he fully realised
The meaning of despair.
He thought he saw h2g2
Balancing on a Post
He looked again and found it was
The outline of the coast.
That could be one of the signs, he feared,
Of a morbid desire for toast.
He thought he saw a Groblintude
Wearing an ethnic shawl
He looked again and found it was
A tournament tennis ball.
At last, he thought, I think I see
The meaning of it all.
He thought he saw a Vogon once
Practising the trombone
He looked again and saw it was
A public telephone.
At last I realise, he thought,
That I am not alone.
