A more humane Sockpuppet never
Did in this group exist,
To nobody second,
I'm certainly reckoned
A true ventriloquist.
It is my very humane endeavour
To make, to some extent,
Each barnuckle
An endless chuckle
Of harmless merriment.
My object all sublime, I shall achieve in time.

My object all sublime
I shall achieve in time--
To let the punishment fit the rhyme--
The punishment fit the rhyme;
And make each sailor rent
Unwillingly represent
A source of innocent merriment!
Of innocent merriment!
