100,000,000,000,000 poems
Don Pedro from his shirt has washed the fleas
Since Elgin left his nostrils in the stone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
Normal one aims to be and share the throne
O Parthenon you hold the charger's strings
Were pots graffiti'd over by a slave
An icicle of frozen marrow pings
To break a rule Britannia's might might waive
The peasants's skirts on rainy days she'd tress
With gravity at gravity's great cog
While homeward thirsts to each quenched glass say yes
One misses cricket hearth and croaking frog
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
They're kings we're mammal-cousins hi ho hum
