Prose took the minstrel's verse without a squeeze
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
With cherry-pips his cottage floor is sown
It's one of many horrid happenings
With sombre thoughts they grimly line the nave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
It's no good rich men crying Heaven Bless
Or grinning like a pale-faced golliwog
On wheels the tourist follows hos hostess
Lobsters for sale must be our apologue
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
They're kings we're mammal-cousins hi ho hum
