THOUZANDZ of thornz there be
On the Rozez where gozez
The Zebra of Zee:
Sleek, striped, and hairy,
The steed of the Fairy
Princess of Zee.
Heavy with blozzomz be
The Rozez that grovvzez
In the thickets of Zee,
Where grazez the Zebra,
Marked Abracadecebra
Of the Princess of Zee.
And he nozez the poziez
Of the Rozez that growzez
So luvez'm and free.
With an eye, dark and wary,
In search of a Fairy,
Whose Rozez he knowzez
Were not honeyed for he.
But to breathe a sweet incense
To solace the Princess
Of far-away Zee.
