He bent right down to pick up his valise
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
Normal one aims to be and share the throne
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
That metred rhyme alone can souls enslave
Such merchandise a melancholy brings
Till firemen come with hose-piped tidal wave
The fasting fakir doesn't smell the less
With gravity at gravity's great cog
And played their mountain croquet jungle chess
Whiskey will always wake an Irish bog
And let you off from your opinions glum
And lessors' dates have all too short a sum
