Dinochihua
Dinochihua
 
 Twas gloomy by the gray crag
 The light shining was dwindling
 A strocal vercan began to brag
 A strong fire was kindling
 
 Dinochihua was ackbarring
 While the great fire was brewing
 The crag was weakening and charring
 Beswizzeled, he is a queuing
 
 The Bunmu is leaygoping
 Hearing the cutarnivorous cry
 Bunmu began to go hoping
 Dinochihua was now nigh
 
 Bam! The crag began to crumble
 Alas, Bunmu was not yet here
 Vercan was nowhere near humble
 Dinochihua was struck with fear
 
 The argzy Bunmu now appeared
 Vercan nawlysed, when it caught sight
 Dinochihua was ‘ready revered
 Vercan soon lost all of his might
 
 Twas gloomy by the gray crag
 The light shining was dwindling
 A strocal vercan began to brag
 A strong fire was kindling
