100,000,000,000,000 poems
The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
That horders of crooks felt they'd more right to own
The understanding critic firstly sees
One gathers rosebuds or grows old alone
To one sweet hour of bliss my memory clings
Whose ocean still-born herrings madly brave
Such merchandise a melancholy brings
As sleeping-bags the silent landscape pave
The fasting fakir doesn't smell the less
What things we did we went the whole darned hog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
With breaking voice across the Alps they slog
The Taj Mahal has trinkets spice and gum
yet from the City's pie pulled not one plum
