The wild horse champs the Parthenon's top frieze
The bull's horns ought to dry it like a bone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
One gathers rosebuds or grows old alone
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
Signalling gauchos very rarely shave
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
The nicest kids for strickiest toffees crave
When dried the terrapin can naught express
Shallots and sharks'fins face the smould'ring log
From cool Parnassus down to wild Loch Ness
Southern baroque's seductive dialogue
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
Soliloquies predict great things old chum
