The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
Licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
And loudly sang off-key without a tone
The roundabout eats profits made on swings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
The nicest kids for strickiest toffees crave
Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can't depress
In indian summers Englishmen drink grog
From cool Parnassus down to wild Loch Ness
One misses cricket hearth and croaking frog
Though bretzels take the dols from board-room drum
A wise loaf always knows its humblest crumb
