The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
The bull's horns ought to dry it like a bone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
That suede ferments is not at all well known
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
Nought can the mouse's timid nibbling stave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
To break a rule Britannia's might might waive
It's no good rich men crying Heaven Bless
What things we did we went the whole darned hog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
One misses cricket hearth and croaking frog
Where no one bothered how one warmed one's bum
They're kings we're mammal-cousins hi ho hum
