The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
His exaltation shocked both youth and crone
The Turks said just take anything you please
The thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
That metred rhyme alone can souls enslave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
The nicest kids for strickiest toffees crave
The peasants's skirts on rainy days she'd tress
With gravity at gravity's great cog
The country lane just thrives on farmyard mess
But I can understand you Brogher Gog
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
Soliloquies predict great things old chum
