The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Upon his old oak chest he cuts his cheese
'Ere meanings new to ancient tribes are thrown
How it suprised us pale grey underlings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
Etruscan words which Greece and Rome engrave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
On wheels the tourist follows hos hostess
Their sculptors did our best our hulks the clog
Do bank clerks rule their abacus by thumb
And lessors' dates have all too short a sum
