While Robin Williams, in "Mrs. Doubtfire"

On the other hand, another Rowan, in his role of Mr. Bean
Has caused an equal number to griin
Ianto Jones
Is just one of Dr Who's clones
While the Angelic vampire
Is moonlighting in a male-voice choir

Yorkies
Has gone walkies

Where Giant ants rarely try us
But Orange is still there
Though my visits are rare. (Raak) So you, like me, reckon it's half Scots, half Greek, viz Mc-Eye-oss.

While Magellan
