This is the title of a famous poem from... Les !
Here it is :
Cry ô Lily
Poland y* Spain
Isis wants you to visit !
Cry ô Lily
Porridge y Spanish paëlla
Isis wants you to eat !
Cry ô Lily
Post office y Special Affair Office
Isis wants you to run !
Cry ô Lily
Poly the pony �s neck
Isis wants you to hug !
As you all know very well Les can speak several languages and he decided to use "y" (the Spanish word for AND) to show his respect to Victor, our dear wedmaster ;) |

Cryolipolysis
�Cry �oly poly�, Sis� is what big brothers say to their sisters whom they have pinned to the floor. If wrestling a friend, the captor says, �say �uncle� �! |

You �re welcome Lynne ! Cry as in cryptozoology and lipolysis derives from liposuction So crylipolysis is the surgeon procedure underwent by Mrs Yeti to try to look at her best for the holiday season. |

Cariboo is almost right but it �s a different type of plastic surgery. When somebody has such fantastic lips and wants to donate them in case of their death, the lips are frozen cryogenically, hence cryolipoliysis.

As some of you may know, I recently joined a VERY exclusive London Mayfair club. We meet on the 31st day of every month which begins with an �S�. Our meetings are held in a well-known Tie Restaurant. We are a small group of Masters of Unusual Grammar. Our purpose is to devise a really difficult challenge for our Members to accomplish. We then invent a grammatical name to describe it. At our December meeting, it was proposed that the challenge should consist of walking the entire circumference of the Moon, wearing only a ski hat and a pair of skis, and pulling a sledge of equipment. This will consist of 1,000 bananas and a large container of camel�s milk for nourishment. Plus, an electric blanket for warmth. By pure coincidence, the name we have chosen for this challenge is: cryolipolysis Unfortunately, I am still on probation. So, I�m not allowed to leave the country to take part in the challenge. But I suggest that you watch the latest news to see an old Master at work. The soles of his feet will rest on the soul of his feat. He is demonstrating that only a real MUG will attempt it. Les Douglas.
