Recommendation To Decline Molloy's Meringues
A pound of grease is just the stuff
To break the bishop's heart
If it's not already broken
It's a splendid way to start
For messing his old psyche up
A wheelnut should suffice
If placed into the orifice
That utters Edelweiss
He might, betimes, then choke a whit,
He might, perchance, discharge
The contents of his manly throat
In Cleopatra's barge
The bishop is, when justly said,
More sinned-against than sinning
Yet, for his fondness for the queen,
His head shall go a-spinning
Along those lanes that Plutarch's bed
Has blocked to all positions
Save missionary or The Bean
Long live his inhibitions!
Thus, in this wise, we plot and plan
To overthrow the mighty
Whilst eager rulers stride abune
In negligée and nightie
Though not at once, you should assume,
Nor even yet in tandem
Unless together, on one loom,
They interknit at random
Envoi: Salute all clergy
All demiurgy
Without favour
In the vena cava
