Snaps Don: "Pacé, Panza, 
or suffer my 
nurple!"***
     * The hindquarters of a horse or, 
in this case, a very gentle donkey.

I can find no rhymes for 
'kiln.'*
Does the bear know any,

silent, a partially similar versified query 
can be addressed to young Eulenspiegel 
of musical merry pranks fame.
