The Addlepated Glundersnedd

　　Industrious and underfed,

　　the addlepated Glundersnedd

　　resides inside, beneath your bed

　　and waits for dusky dark to spread.

　　He waits until your lights are out

　　to leave his roost and snoop about,

　　then snuffles with his snarkly snout

　　in search of salty sauerkraut.

　　For pickled cabbage, steamed or stewed,

　　or baked or boiled or barbecued

　　is pretty much his favorite food

　　and puts him in a merry mood.

　　But if he snuffles all around

　　and makes that snarkly snorting sound

　　within the drawers and on the ground,

　　and sauerkraut cannot be found

　　The addlepated Glundersnedd

　　industrious and underfed

　　harumph-a-lumps right back to bed

　　to snack on girls and boys instead.

　　Of all the things that he'll ingest

　　from north or south or east or west

　　as you already may have guessed

　　he fancies children second best.

　　So if you plan to keep your head

　　then please remember what I said:

　　to feed the dreaded Glundersnedd

　　keep sauerkraut beside your bed!
