The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
Old corned-beef's rusty armour spreads disease
With cherry-pips his cottage floor is sown
And yet 'twas he the beggar Fate just flings
With sombre thoughts they grimly line the nave
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
Till firemen come with hose-piped tidal wave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
One tongue will do to keep the verse agog
Poor Yorick comes to bury not address
Their sculptors did our best our hulks the clog
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
The bell tolls fee-less fi-less fo-less fum
