100,000,000,000,000 poems
He bent right down to pick up his valise
The answer is they could be twins full-grown
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
And empty cages show life's bird has flown
And yet 'twas he the beggar Fate just flings
That metred rhyme alone can souls enslave
They both are right not unformed smatterings
Etruscan words which Greece and Rome engrave
Emboggled minds may puff and blow and guess
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
On wheels the tourist follows hos hostess
With breaking voice across the Alps they slog
Ventriloquists be blowed you strike me dumb
The best of all things to an end must come
