One fine morning in the middle of the Precession of the
Equinoxes this ‘satiable
Elephant’s Child
asked a new fine
question that he had never asked before.
He asked,
‘What does
the Crocodile
have for dinner?’
Then everybody said,
‘Hush!’
in a loud and dretful tone, and
they spanked him immediately and directly, without stopping,
for a long time.
