He bent right down to pick up his valise
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
'Ere meanings new to ancient tribes are thrown
O Parthenon you hold the charger's strings
When flame a form to wrath ancestral gave
They both are right not unformed smatterings
In purest cradels tha's how they behave
The genealogist with field and fess
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
No need to cart such treasures from the fog
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
Fried grilled black pudding's still the world's best yum


Raymond Queneau
