Once there was a squid
Who dreamt of being swiss
In silents depths of sea
In swarms of cuttlefish/
He suddenly woke up
And muttered "What was that?
Me being man of Switzerland
Felt morbidly celestial!"
He shaked his head, he danced,
He clapped his eight long arms.
He hoped that it would help
To turn him into man of highs.
Yet he was still a squid
A slimy, wet, white beast.
He squited out dark ink
And thought "I'll just suicide."
So he swimed to the top
And jumped above it all.
He opened his damp eyes
To find him man of Switzerland.
