Anybody recognise ?
Scintillate, scintillate, globule vivific,
Fain would I fathom thy substacne specific,
High up above in the ether capacious
Strongly resembling a gem carbonatious.
(Apologies if I've spelt anything wrong !)
If you do recognise it, know any more ???

I don't know any more, can I still say it's "Twinkle, twinkle, little
star"?

row, row, row....becomes
propel, propel, propel your craft
softly down liquid solution
ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically
existence is but an illusion
and three blind mice becomes
a trio of sightless rodents
a trio of sightless rodents
observe how they perambulate
observe how they perambulate
they scampered hastily behind the agriculturer's spouse
who removed their posteriors with a large cutting utensil
have you ever viewed such a spectacle as
a trio of sighless rodents
and (as if to go on ad nauseum) the old drinking song originally
was:
Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
and it went right to my head
wherever I may roam
on land or sea or foam
you can always hear me singing this song
show me the way to go home
becomes (as I was taught)
Indicate the way to my habitual abode
I'm fatigued and I want to retire
Oh I had a libation sixty minutes ago
and it went right to my cerebellum
wherever I may perambulate
on terra or mara or atmospheric pressure
you can always listen to me chanting this refrain
indicate the way to my habitual domain
(all worded out - phew)

How 'bout:
Scintillate, Scintillate, dimimutive stellar orb
How I cogitate regarding your coordinates in Cartesian 3-space.
Ta-dum.
