Well you can find "Captain Valiant" from "A Duck on his Head" here.

Does anyone have the monologue about "Senor Polone" the indarubber man ? He's in love with the beautiful trapeze artist, but she ignores him until one day she falls and he spreads himself out underneath her - then:

With a smack like the sound of wet fish on a slab
On Senor Polone she landed.
Then she bounced right back up to the top of the tent,
And caught the trapeze single-handed.


After that she marries him and they have some bouncing babies.
