Ninepenny Lithuanians - A Rhapsody
Cashier, change this love-note
For euros by the score
Such that, if not spent in vain
Might as well go down the drain
Of chagrin evermore
Croupier, stop that spinning
And change these tokens bright
Into shiny waistcoat studs
Something echt amid the duds
To help me win the fight
Courier, rush these roses
To her whom I admire
Ere they wither on the stem
(The little cash I paid for them
Shall mystify the buyer)
Furrier, spare those foxes
On them my care bestow
Let them live among the hens
Who, in a paparazzo's lens
Of quartz, will put on a fine show
