When one with t'other straightaway agrees
When masons clutch the breath we held on loan
Forms shadowy with indecision wheeze
And empty cages show life's bird has flown
They both are right not untamed mutterings
The North Wind Bites into his architrave
In salads all chew grubs before they've wings
The nicest kids for strickiest toffees crave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
And starve the sniveling baby like a dog
From cool Parnassus down to wild Loch Ness
Lobsters for sale must be our apologue
With marble souvenirs then fill a slum
For Europe's glory while Fate's harpies strum
