Boys study, girls know, Thats the way that lessons go. Boys learn, girls forget, Thats the way of lessons yet. Gillikinese are sharp as knives, Munchkinlanders lead corny lives, Glikkuns beat their ugly wives, Winkies swarm in sticky hives. But the Quadlings, Oh the Quadlings, Slimy stupid curse-at-godlings, Eat their young and bury their old A day before their bodies get cold. Give me an apple and Ill say it again.
