I don't know if the lisp I played with was Cambridge Lisp, but the one
I played with at a dealers understood 'de' rather than 'defun'.  Let's
hear it for lisp standards.

        The Hydrogen Dog and the Cobalt Cat,
        side by side in the armory sat.
        Nobody thought of fusion or fission,
        everyone spoke of their peacetime mission.
        Till somebody came and opened the door
        and they they were in in a neutron fog;
        the Codrogen Cat and the Hybalt Dog.
        They mushroomed up with a terrible roar,
        and nobody, never, was there no more.
