Though Keats rhymed ear to CythereaA
And Morris dawn to mornB
A worse example it is clearC
By Oxford Dons is shornB
G y of Magdalen goes beyondD
These puny Cockneys farE
And to Magrath rhymes Muse despondD
Magrath he rhymes to starE
-
Another poet X Y ZF
Employs the word researcherG
And then his blood be on his headD
He makes it rhyme to nurtureG
Ah never was the English tongueH
So flayed and racked and torturedD
Since one I love who should be hungH
Made tortured rhyme to orchardD
-
Unkindly G y's raging penI
Next craves a rhyme to soonerG
Rejecting Spooner best of menI
He fastens on LACUNA RE
Nay worse in his infatuate mindD
He ends a line explainerE
Nor any rhyme can G y findD
Until he reaches Jena rE
-
Yes G y shines the worst of allJ
He needs to rhyme embargoK
The man had Margot at his callJ
He had the good ship ARGOK
Largo he had yet doth he seekL
Further and no embargoK
Restrains him from the odious weakL
And Cockney rhyme ChicagoK
-
Ye Oxford Dons that Cockneys beF
Among your gardens tidyF
If you would ask a maid to teaF
D'ye call the girl a lydyF
And if you'd sing of Mr FryE
And need a rhyme to swiperE
Are you so cruel as to tryE
To fill the blank with paperE
-
Oh Hoxford was a pleasant pliceF
To many a poet dearE
And Saccharissa had the griceF
In Hoxford to appearE
But Waller if to CythereaE
He prayed at any timeM
Did not implore her friendly earE
And think he had a rhymeM
-
Now if you ask to what are dueF
The horrors which I mentionN
I think we owe them to the UF
Niversity extensionN
From Hoxton and from Poplar comeO
The 'Arriets and 'ArriesF
And so the Oxford Muse is dumbO
Or when she sings miscarriesF
