At snuff no Cornish sailorman would sneeze
His exaltation shocked both youth and crone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
With cherry-pips his cottage floor is sown
How it suprised us pale grey underlings
Whose ocean still-born herrings madly brave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
That every verbal shock aims to deprave
Emboggled minds may puff and blow and guess
One tongue will do to keep the verse agog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
Bard I adore your endless monologue
Where no one bothered how one warmed one's bum
Soliloquies predict great things old chum
