The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
The thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
With sombre thoughts they grimly line the nave
A daring baron pockets precious Mings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
Platonic Greece was not so talentless
A piercint wit would sprightliest horses flog
Socrates watched his hemlock effervesce
Lobsters for sale must be our apologue
Suits lisping Spanish tongues for whom say some
Fried grilled black pudding's still the world's best yum
