Deep In the Basement
Deep in the basement of the east wing
Lady Penelope keeps a Thing
With big teeth and claws
And horrible jaws
And feeds it her husband’s old flings.
While sister Edith keeps under covers
A creature that crawls and gibbers and mutters,
That’s disgusting and spiny,
Appalling and slimy,
And feeds it her old boyfriends and lovers.
