That poem was a very funny parody of an Isaac Watts poem which starts,
“‘Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain,
“You have waked me too soon, I must slumber again.”
As the door on its hinges, so he on his bed,
Turns his sides and his shoulders and his heavy head.”

When time went mad the voice of the lobster whispered seductively to the dancing girl of Ganymede “You’re a fantastic Novelet of the future but WHY ARE YOUR EYES GREEN!! Only WE can have green eyes. Green eyes for Little People!!,” they shouted in height-biased rage
