At five precisely out went La Marquise
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
He bent right down and well what did he seize
That suede ferments is not at all well known
To one sweet hour of bliss my memory clings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
That every verbal shock aims to deprave
Platonic Greece was not so talentless
Shallots and sharks'fins face the smould'ring log
On wheels the tourist follows hos hostess
No need to cart such treasures from the fog
Ventriloquists be blowed you strike me dumb
yet from the City's pie pulled not one plum
