Winken, Blinken and Nod

by kiwisteveh

Winken, Blinken and Nod
Had worked till their backs were all kinkin'.
"Let's go find a boat and a rod!"
Cried Blinken. "It's fish-time I'm thinkin'."

Herr Blinken, Herr Nod and Herr Winken
Were alike as three peas in a pod.
"Twas the very same think we was thinkin'!"
Cried weary old Winken and Nod.

Excited, the cheery wee squad
packed up a few ales to be drinkin'.
Then Winken and Blinken and Nod
Set forth on the sea without shrinkin'.

Their luck catchin' fish, it was stinkin';
Not a kingfish, a carp or a cod
On the ends of their lines was a-plinkin'.
Said Blinken, "Oh, I've been a clod!"

"This boat is a shoe which is odd;
And look at that spot which is chinkin'.
I wish that we'd had it re-shod
Our shoe-boat is shafted, it's sinkin'!"

Is a tear in your eye, there a-winkin'
For Winken and Blinken and Nod?
A whale neath the boat had been slinkin',
And came to their rescue, thank God!
