He bent right down to pick up his valise
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
Forms shadowy with indecision wheeze
Which neither time nor tide can long postpone
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
Till firemen come with hose-piped tidal wave
Emboggled minds may puff and blow and guess
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
Their sculptors did our best our hulks the clog
Ventriloquists be blowed you strike me dumb
Fried grilled black pudding's still the world's best yum


Raymond Queneau
