Axolotl poem
There's a parody of Wordsworth's "The Daffodils" that appeared in Mad
Magazine circa 1958. This is as much of it as I can reconstruct. Does
anyone know the rest?
I wandered lonely as a clod
Just picking up old rags and bottles,
when on the lonely road I trod
I came upon some axolotls.
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
A sight to make a man's blood freeze.
Some had handles, some were plain-
they were orange, pink, and green, in the main.
My hair stood up, my blood ran cold.
I fled with fear upon my soul.
I find my solace now in bottles,
and I forget them axolotls.
