From playboy Chance the nymph no longer flees
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
The thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone
It's one of many horrid happenings
Were pots graffiti'd over by a slave
Such merchandise a melancholy brings
That every verbal shock aims to deprave
The genealogist with field and fess
What things we did we went the whole darned hog
And played their mountain croquet jungle chess
No need to cart such treasures from the fog
Where no one bothered how one warmed one's bum
Soliloquies predict great things old chum
