Prose took the minstrel's verse without a squeeze
When masons clutch the breath we held on loan
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
Normal one aims to be and share the throne
It's one of many horrid happenings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
An icicle of frozen marrow pings
That every verbal shock aims to deprave
When dried the terrapin can naught express
Shallots and sharks'fins face the smould'ring log
Poor Yorick comes to bury not address
Bard I adore your endless monologue
With marble souvenirs then fill a slum
In cognac brandy is Bacardi rum?
