At five precisely out went La Marquise
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
The understanding critic firstly sees
While sharks to let's say potted shrimps are prone
It's one of many horrid happenings
When flame a form to wrath ancestral gave
He's gone to London how the echo rings
Victorious worms grind all into the grave
Platonic Greece was not so talentless
With quill white-collared through his life will jog
Socrates watched his hemlock effervesce
But I can understand you Brogher Gog
Though bretzels take the dols from board-room drum
And lessors' dates have all too short a sum
