He bent right down to pick up his valise
Since Elgin left his nostrils in the stone
Old corned-beef's rusty armour spreads disease
While sharks to let's say potted shrimps are prone
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
Platonic Greece was not so talentless
Or grinning like a pale-faced golliwog
The colonel's still escutcheoned in undress
We'll suffocate before the epilogue
With marble souvenirs then fill a slum
In cognac brandy is Bacardi rum?
