The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
Licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
Old corned-beef's rusty armour spreads disease
And empty cages show life's bird has flown
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
Signalling gauchos very rarely shave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
That every verbal shock aims to deprave
The fasting fakir doesn't smell the less
Shallots and sharks'fins face the smould'ring log
And played their mountain croquet jungle chess
Southern baroque's seductive dialogue
Where no one bothered how one warmed one's bum
Soliloquies predict great things old chum
