A thanking banquet at Thanksgiving.
Is the young banker thinking of something
For drinking at the Thanksgiving banquet?

Благодарственный банкет по случаю Дня Благодарения.

Is dingdong looking among his belongings
For a dinky bank of hanky-panky, including
Rings, bangles, hangers, anklets and earrings.
(Перевод: «Дядюшка Фрэнк, будучи сердитым скрягой,
С упорством ищет среди своих вещей
Изящный комплект подделок, включающий
Кольца, браслеты, подвески, ножные браслеты и серьги»).
An English banker is sinking clankingly
A long anchor at the brink of Hong Kong
Among concourse of alongshore plankton
Including conches, winkles, anglers and congers.

Длинный якорь у берега Гонг Конга
Среди скопления прибрежного планктона,
Включающего раковины, морских чертей и угрей»).
