Kulinaki-Pulinaki,
Watches whisper ticky-tacky,
Rowdy hound dogs loudly howl
Finches filch fish from a fowl.

Kulinaki-Pulinaki,
Hound dogs whisper ticky-tacky
Rowdy finches loudly howl.
Watches filch fish from a fowl.

Kulinaki-Pulinaki,
Finches whisper ticky-tacky
Rowdy watches loudly howl.
Hounddogs filch fish from a fowl.

Kulinaki-Pulinaki
Which are finches, which are watches?
If you really want to know
Then back to front you'll have to go.
