The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
He bent right down and well what did he seize
With cherry-pips his cottage floor is sown
They both are right not untamed mutterings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
In salads all chew grubs before they've wings
Etruscan words which Greece and Rome engrave
Platonic Greece was not so talentless
A piercint wit would sprightliest horses flog
And played their mountain croquet jungle chess
With breaking voice across the Alps they slog
Though bretzels take the dols from board-room drum
Soliloquies predict great things old chum
