And as tickle rhymes with Frikell,
Frik-ell therefore it must be
Tickle Frikell,
Sharp as sickle,
Cutting out most funny fare;
Presto!crying, all things flying
Here and there and everywhere.
Bold Conceptions, grand deceptions
He dispenses tout le soir
Transformations from all nations
Flying from his repertoire
Hail to Frikell!
Who can tickle
Crystal streams from unknown source
Whose quaint cookings
Whilst we're looking
Makes us laugh till we are hoarse.
Marvellous Frikell
Pungent pickle
Thou canst make at magic touch;
Whilst thy brewing
And thy stewing
Are the most unique as such
Then thy joking, mirth provoking,
In its nature quite refined
Even after causes laughter
When we bring the same to mind
Gentle Frikell, clever Frikell!
King Magician is thy name!
Thou canst so our fancies tickle
That we'll help to spread thy fame.
