The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
Through snobbish growing round her hemline zone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
Normal one aims to be and share the throne
How it suprised us pale grey underlings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
A daring baron pockets precious Mings
Till firemen come with hose-piped tidal wave
The genealogist with field and fess
Shallots and sharks'fins face the smould'ring log
The colonel's still escutcheoned in undress
Their sculptors did our best our hulks the clog
Where no one bothered how one warmed one's bum
A wise loaf always knows its humblest crumb
