1The acid tongue with gourmet’s expertise
2when masons clutch the breath we held on loan
3replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
4while sharks to let’s say potted shrimps are prone

5It’s one of many horrid happenings

7he’s gone to London how the echo rings
8to break a rule Britannia’s might might waive

9The fasting fakir doesn’t smell the less
10with gravity at gravity’s great cog
11on wheels the tourist follows hos hostess

12One misses cricket hearth and croaking frog
13suits lisping Spanish tongues for whom say some
14and lessors’ dates have all too short a sum
