The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
Through snobbish growing round her hemline zone
The Turks said just take anything you please
While sharks to let's say potted shrimps are prone
O Parthenon you hold the charger's strings
Nought can the mouse's timid nibbling stave
An icicle of frozen marrow pings
To break a rule Britannia's might might waive
Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can't depress
Shallots and sharks'fins face the smould'ring log
And played their mountain croquet jungle chess
But I can understand you Brogher Gog
Do bank clerks rule their abacus by thumb
A wise loaf always knows its humblest crumb
