If'n A Gryphon

If'n
A Gryphon
Climbs up in your lap,
Be SURE
that the Gryphon
Does NOT take a nap!

For if'n
That Gryphon
Should cuddle with you
You'll BOTH
Fall asleep
For a decade or two!

So if'n
a Gryphon
Climbs up in your lap,
You must TICKLE that Gryphon,
or give him a SLAP,
To WAKE UP
That Gryphon
And escape
From his trap!
