The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
Licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
The thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
The North Wind Bites into his architrave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
That every verbal shock aims to deprave
When dried the terrapin can naught express
And starve the sniveling baby like a dog
On wheels the tourist follows hos hostess
Bard I adore your endless monologue
Though bretzels take the dols from board-room drum
For Europe's glory while Fate's harpies strum
