I have a bookcase which is whatB
Many much better men have notC
There are no books inside for booksD
I am afraid might spoil its looksD
But I've three busts all second handE
Upon the top You understandE
I could not put them underneathF

-
Shake was a dramatist of noteG
He lived by writing things to quoteG
He long ago put on his shroudH
Some of his works are rather loudH
His bald spot's dusty I supposeI
I know there's dust upon his noseI
I'll have to give each nose a sheathF

Mulleary's line was quite the sameJ
He has more hair but far less fameJ
I would not from that fame retrenchK
But he is foreign being FrenchK
Yet high his haughty head he heavesL
The only one done up in leavesL
They're rather limited on wreathF

-
Go ethe wrote in the German tongueM
He must have learned it very youngM
His nose is quite a butt for scoff-
Although an inch of it is off-
He did quite nicely for the DutchN
But here he doesn't count for muchN
They all are off their native heathF
Shake Mulleary and Go etheF

V-
-
They sit there on their chests as blandE
As if they were not second handE
I do not know of what they thinkO
Nor why they never frown or winkO
But why from smiling they refrainP
I think I clearly can explainP
They none of them could show much teethF
Shake Mulleary and Go etheF
