The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Old corned-beef's rusty armour spreads disease
While sharks to let's say potted shrimps are prone
O Parthenon you hold the charger's strings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
Till firemen come with hose-piped tidal wave
Emboggled minds may puff and blow and guess
What things we did we went the whole darned hog
On wheels the tourist follows hos hostess
We'll suffocate before the epilogue
Poor reader smile before your lips go numb
Soliloquies predict great things old chum
