The wild horse champs the Parthenon's top frieze
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Forms shadowy with indecision wheeze
And loudly sang off-key without a tone
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
Nought can the mouse's timid nibbling stave
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
Platonic Greece was not so talentless
With gravity at gravity's great cog
The colonel's still escutcheoned in undress
Southern baroque's seductive dialogue
Do bank clerks rule their abacus by thumb
Fried grilled black pudding's still the world's best yum
