2since Elgin left his nostrils in the stone
3the showman gargles fire and sword with ease
4the thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone

8that every verbal shock aims to deprave

11and played their mountain croquet jungle chess

13on fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
14they’re kings we’re mammal-cousins hi ho hum
