"See Ghere's a boat I've Dwhittled for Athee, espDecially for thAee.

DI love cAoming hGome from fDar aAcross the Dsea,
And taking up my Awalking Gcane
And pDassing tAhrough the tDrees.
I wGander on the hDillside, the Gdoggie at my hDeel.
The brGacken waves a weDlcome to Ame,
"WDhere have you bAeen?
WDe've missed you a great dAeal."
