At five precisely out went La Marquise
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
Her native chauffeur waited in the breeze
Normal one aims to be and share the throne
The roundabout eats profits made on swings
Were pots graffiti'd over by a slave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
With quill white-collared through his life will jog
The colonel's still escutcheoned in undress
We'll suffocate before the epilogue
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
Soliloquies predict great things old chum


Raymond Queneau
