From playboy Chance the nymph no longer flees
When masons clutch the breath we held on loan
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
The thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone
The roundabout eats profits made on swings
That metred rhyme alone can souls enslave
Such merchandise a melancholy brings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
A piercint wit would sprightliest horses flog
Socrates watched his hemlock effervesce
Bard I adore your endless monologue
Where no one bothered how one warmed one's bum
yet from the City's pie pulled not one plum
