The wild horse champs the Parthenon's top frieze
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
The Turks said just take anything you please
And loudly sang off-key without a tone
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
That metred rhyme alone can souls enslave
An icicle of frozen marrow pings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can't depress
And starve the sniveling baby like a dog
And played their mountain croquet jungle chess
Bard I adore your endless monologue
Do bank clerks rule their abacus by thumb
A wise loaf always knows its humblest crumb
