At five precisely out went La Marquise
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
The showman gargles fire and sword with ease
While sharks to let's say potted shrimps are prone
It's one of many horrid happenings
Whose ocean still-born herrings madly brave
In salads all chew grubs before they've wings
For burning bushes never fish forgave
Emboggled minds may puff and blow and guess
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
And played their mountain croquet jungle chess
Bard I adore your endless monologue
Ventriloquists be blowed you strike me dumb
The best of all things to an end must come
