The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
Since Elgin left his nostrils in the stone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
And empty cages show life's bird has flown
How it suprised us pale grey underlings
Signalling gauchos very rarely shave
In salads all chew grubs before they've wings
Etruscan words which Greece and Rome engrave
The genealogist with field and fess
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
The country lane just thrives on farmyard mess
Whiskey will always wake an Irish bog
And let you off from your opinions glum
yet from the City's pie pulled not one plum
