   In that case, what about rhinos in the kitchen?   
      
   If you're normal, I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life, and I   
   shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen,   
   incessant quotations from Now We Are Six through the mouthpiece of Lord   
   Snooty's giant poisoned electric head. So there...   
      
   --Vivian Stanshall, My Pink Half Of The Drainpipe (1968)   
      
   'Cause I'm going to rhino over your lino   
   I'm going to rhino with you   
   In all kinds of leather   
   We rhino together   
   We'll keep rhinoing through   
      
   --Vivian Stanshall, We Were Wrong (1969)   
      
   There's a rhino in the kitchen   
   Send him on a tram back home   
      
   --Roy Wood, Turkish Tram Conductor Blues (1970)
