100,000,000,000,000 poems
When one with t'other straightaway agrees
Since Elgin left his nostrils in the stone
The understanding critic firstly sees
The thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
A daring baron pockets precious Mings
Till firemen come with hose-piped tidal wave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
A piercint wit would sprightliest horses flog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
No need to cart such treasures from the fog
Suits lisping Spanish tongues for whom say some
For Europe's glory while Fate's harpies strum
