The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
The bull's horns ought to dry it like a bone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
With cherry-pips his cottage floor is sown
The frisian Isles my friends are cherised things
Signalling gauchos very rarely shave
In salads all chew grubs before they've wings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
Emboggled minds may puff and blow and guess
In indian summers Englishmen drink grog
The country lane just thrives on farmyard mess
Lobsters for sale must be our apologue
With marble souvenirs then fill a slum
And lessors' dates have all too short a sum
