“He had ragged long grass-coloured hair;
He had knees that stuck out of his hose;
He had puddle-water in his shoes;
He had half a cloak to keep him dry,
Although he had a squirrel’s eye.”

Her knees and elbows are only glued together.”

Jiggling yr knees blankeyed in the rain,
When it snows in yr nose you catch cold in yr brain.”
