From playboy Chance the nymph no longer flees
Since Elgin left his nostrils in the stone
Her native chauffeur waited in the breeze
With cherry-pips his cottage floor is sown
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
Signalling gauchos very rarely shave
Proud death quite il-le-gi-ti-mate-ly stings
That every verbal shock aims to deprave
Emboggled minds may puff and blow and guess
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
The colonel's still escutcheoned in undress
One misses cricket hearth and croaking frog
The Taj Mahal has trinkets spice and gum
The bell tolls fee-less fi-less fo-less fum
