At snuff no Cornish sailorman would sneeze
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Old corned-beef's rusty armour spreads disease
While sharks to let's say potted shrimps are prone
How it suprised us pale grey underlings
Signalling gauchos very rarely shave
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
Etruscan words which Greece and Rome engrave
When dried the terrapin can naught express
Shallots and sharks'fins face the smould'ring log
From cool Parnassus down to wild Loch Ness
Southern baroque's seductive dialogue
Ventriloquists be blowed you strike me dumb
A wise loaf always knows its humblest crumb
