Having taken just one short look at my rockery,
he turned and he shouted, ‘It’s a mockery!’
I thought him a character of fun,
like Dockery in ‘Dockery and Son’,
but, as he went, he smashed all of my crockery.
‘This ‘jiggery-pockery’ has got to stop!’
I looked at the clock, and its tick-tockery,
and knew that the time was near;
I pawned all of my jewels
(put them all into hockery)
to raise up the funds to pursue,
follow, go after,
that man whose name was Englebert Nockery.
