Victorian Squid

Victorian squid is a delight

For all the family because

It's greasy and hot

When you've had lots

Then you'll want more

There's old H.G. Wells

Lying in bed

With his new housekeeper with

Hot squid by their side

Glowing with pride

Flushed with exhaustion

Victorian lungs

Victorian skin

Victorian tongues

Victorian sin

Victorian parks

Victorian moans

Victorians darkness

Victorian squid down on the beach

Is an embarrassment to

Respectable girls

Walking with pearls

And their fiances

"Oh, Edward my love

Is that a squid?"

"Yes, I fear so, my pet

But, pray, leave it alone

Let us go home

And take some cocoa."

Victorian arms

Victorian legs

Victorian charms

Victorian eggs

Victorian boys

Victorian girls

Victorian darkness

Every night our

Voices meet in

Darkness

Clicking feet on

Hollow streets the

Fanlight falls a-

Cross the city

Onto me and

Mistress Kitty

Pray that someone

Breaches her be-

Tween the walnut

And the fur to

Where she keeps her

Real secret

Hid

She's a Victorian squid
