The acid tongue with gourmet's expertise
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
The understanding critic firstly sees
'Ere meanings new to ancient tribes are thrown
And yet 'twas he the beggar Fate just flings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
They both are right not unformed smatterings
In purest cradles tha's how they behave
Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can't depress
And starve the snivelling baby like a dog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
But I can understand you Brother Gog
Ventriloquists be blowed you strike me dumb
The best of all things to an end must come
