Don Pedro from his shirt has washed the fleas
Since Elgin left his nostrils in the stone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
While sharks to let's say potted shrimps are prone
To one sweet hour of bliss my memory clings
With sombre thoughts they grimly line the nave
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
Etruscan words which Greece and Rome engrave
The genealogist with field and fess
One tongue will do to keep the verse agog
And played their mountain croquet jungle chess
But I can understand you Brogher Gog
Ventriloquists be blowed you strike me dumb
yet from the City's pie pulled not one plum
