The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
His exaltation shocked both youth and crone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
The thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone
The frisian Isles my friends are cherised things
Nought can the mouse's timid nibbling stave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
Thou homestead hillside woodland rock and cave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
And starve the sniveling baby like a dog
To prove mamma an adult with a tress
Lobsters for sale must be our apologue
With marble souvenirs then fill a slum
yet from the City's pie pulled not one plum
