| Notes |
Text: Brisk as a flea, as lightning flashes, / Quickly you make the grasshopper dashes-- / Hic, presto, change! now here,
now there; / We cannot find you anywhere-- / But know a fool is in the middle, / And thus I solve your icy riddle. / From
those that cut up monkey shines, / We do not choose our Valentines.
