Five and twenty ponies
Trotting through the dark-
Brandy for the Parson,
'Baccy for the Clerk.
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie-
Watch the wall, my darling, while the gentlemen go by! (Rudyard Kipling)

Five and twenty ponies Trotting through the dark- Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk. Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie- Watch the wall, my darling, while the gentlemen go by!
