The poem with it’s made up animals and people in dire situations is reminiscent of Shel Silverstein. You know that guy that got famous with this, wrote heart-wrenching children’s books like this, and oddball songs like this. Most importantly, he looked like this.
If you like this cut-out look and have a penchant for the super-cutesy, you might try My Cardboard Life. They’ve been pasting together scraps into comics for years.

Despite the misinformation spread by the awful Orlando Bloom shit-fest that is Pirates of the Caribbean, the word ‘parley’ does not, in fact, rhyme with ‘day.’ It rhymes with ‘Brie.’ Like the cheese. Sorry to ruin the verse.

You could instead assume that it’s just a typo, and he means to parlay. Double or nothing, baby.
I couldn’t resist commenting
I love shel silversteien, he’s the best.
