        The advent’s here
        Of this new year,

                                     All night the mice
                                     Roll loaded dice;
                                     Each rattling throw
                                     Resounds below.

                                     Hedgehogs bristle,
                                     “Blow the whistle!
                                     We didn’t choose
                                     To take this cruise!”

                                     Pulling their pranks,
                                     Monkeys pull planks
                                     Right off the hull:
                                     Why? Travel’s dull.
