When one with t'other straightaway agrees
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
And empty cages show life's bird has flown
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
Nought can the mouse's timid nibbling stave
The fertile mother changelings drops like kings
The nicest kids for strickiest toffees crave
It's no good rich men crying Heaven Bless
Shallots and sharks'fins face the smould'ring log
Poor Yorick comes to bury not address
We'll suffocate before the epilogue
Though bretzels take the dols from board-room drum
In cognac brandy is Bacardi rum?
