The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
That horders of crooks felt they'd more right to own
The understanding critic firstly sees
One gathers rosebuds or grows old alone
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
Nought can the mouse's timid nibbling stave
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
Till firemen come with hose-piped tidal wave
It's no good rich men crying Heaven Bless
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
From cool Parnassus down to wild Loch Ness
No need to cart such treasures from the fog
And let you off from your opinions glum
And lessors' dates have all too short a sum
