The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
Through snobbish growing round her hemline zone
The showman gargles fire and sword with ease
With cherry-pips his cottage floor is sown
To one sweet hour of bliss my memory clings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
Such merchandise a melancholy brings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
With gravity at gravity's great cog
And played their mountain croquet jungle chess
One misses cricket hearth and croaking frog
Ventriloquists be blowed you strike me dumb
The bell tolls fee-less fi-less fo-less fum
