At five precisely out went La Marquise
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
And loudly sang off-key without a tone
The frisian Isles my friends are cherised things
Signalling gauchos very rarely shave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
For burning bushes never fish forgave
Poetic licence needs no strain or stress
Or grinning like a pale-faced golliwog
To prove mamma an adult with a tress
One misses cricket hearth and croaking frog
With marble souvenirs then fill a slum
In cognac brandy is Bacardi rum?
