when your name is a pun  
it so happens with Twain  
mark my words, it will stun  
the conceited and vain

I do shudder to think  
What he would do with me  
Dunk me into the drink  
Mississippi runs free

Would it be Camelot  
Where I could roam as squire  
And occasionally spot  
A fair maiden’s desire

Perhaps Tom, Jim and Huck  
I’ll be painting the fence  
Anything for a buck  
I got plenty expense

Might he send me abroad  
Boy, would that be a ball  
To be fair – I’d be awed  
If he noticed at all
