At five precisely out went La Marquise
Licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
Her native chauffeur waited in the breeze
Normal one aims to be and share the throne
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
To break a rule Britannia's might might waive
Emboggled minds may puff and blow and guess
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
On wheels the tourist follows hos hostess
No need to cart such treasures from the fog
And let you off from your opinions glum
Soliloquies predict great things old chum


Raymond Queneau
