Hey diddle diddle

Hey diddle diddle
We're all on the fiddle
And never get up until noon.
We only take cash
Which we carefully stash
And we work by the light of the moon.

    I believe this could also be refered to prostitutes. Never get up until noon. Only take cash. Work by the light of the moon? It makes sense to me.

    A delightful commentary on the black economy and welfare swindles.
    Dahl himself uses words with a wonderful economy less than 3 dozen words and only 6 lines and yet the story is complete.
