At snuff no Cornish sailorman would sneeze
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
The thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can't depress
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
We'll suffocate before the epilogue
With marble souvenirs then fill a slum
In cognac brandy is Bacardi rum?
