He bent right down to pick up his valise
His exaltation shocked both youth and crone
The Turks said just take anything you please
'Ere meanings new to ancient tribes are thrown
O Parthenon you hold the charger's strings
Signalling gauchos very rarely shave
He's gone to London how the echo rings
In purest cradels tha's how they behave
The genealogist with field and fess
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
The country lane just thrives on farmyard mess
We'll suffocate before the epilogue
Do bank clerks rule their abacus by thumb
The bell tolls fee-less fi-less fo-less fum


Raymond Queneau
