When one with t'other straightaway agrees
When masons clutch the breath we held on loan
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
With cherry-pips his cottage floor is sown
It's one of many horrid happenings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
Victorious worms grind all into the grave
The fasting fakir doesn't smell the less
Or grinning like a pale-faced golliwog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
Whiskey will always wake an Irish bog
The Taj Mahal has trinkets spice and gum
In cognac brandy is Bacardi rum?
