The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
That horders of crooks felt they'd more right to own
The Turks said just take anything you please
And loudly sang off-key without a tone
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
With sombre thoughts they grimly line the nave
They both are right not unformed smatterings
Till firemen come with hose-piped tidal wave
When dried the terrapin can naught express
And starve the sniveling baby like a dog
Socrates watched his hemlock effervesce
Their sculptors did our best our hulks the clog
Suits lisping Spanish tongues for whom say some
They're kings we're mammal-cousins hi ho hum
