May hippos dance upon your roof ~
And make it most unwaterproof.
May bats within your attic rest ~
May mewlips come - your house infest.
May alligators on the stair ~
Repeat a doleful cry, "Beware!"
May kangaroos in dreadful fright ~
Keep everyone awake at night.
May corkscrews bent with evil guile ~
Strip down your bathroom, tile by tile.
While in the kitchen warthogs three ~
Do scare the tannin from your tea.
Now in your lounge a snake will dance ~
And comment on your circumstance.
May crowds of emus on your lawn ~
Let fireworks off to greet the dawn,
Whilst thirty walruses in the hall ~
Enjoy a game of basketball.
If you desire to end this curse, ~
Put wrong to right, lest things get worse.
Or, if I've gone across the sea, ~
Another way from curse you're free.
Ten thousand pounds you'll give to those ~
Who cure the sick from cancer's woes.
If this is done, your open purse ~
Will see the ending of this curse.
Now Chaos answer to my call, ~
On.......my curse shall fall.
