Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABCACAAABAA ADADDED AFAFAGAG HAHAGDGD| He was bare we don t want to be rude | A |
| His condition was owing to drink | B |
| They say his condition was nood | A |
| Which amounts to the same thing we think | B |
| We mean his condition we think | B |
| Twas a naked condition or nood | A |
| Which amounts to the same thing we think | B |
| Uncovered he lay on the grass | C |
| That shrivelled and shrunk and he stayed | A |
| Three hot summer days while the glass | C |
| Was one hundred and ten in the shade | A |
| We nearly remarked that he laid | A |
| But that was bad grammar we thought | A |
| It does sound bucolic we think | B |
| It smacks of the barnyard | A |
| Of farming of pullets in short | A |
| - | |
| Unheeded he lay on the dirt | A |
| Beside him a part of his dress | D |
| A tattered and threadbare old shirt | A |
| Was raised as a flag of distress | D |
| On a stick like a flag of distress | D |
| Reversed we mean that the tail end was up | E |
| half mast on a stick an evident flag of distress | D |
| - | |
| Perhaps in his dreams he persood | A |
| Bright visions of heav nly bliss | F |
| And artists who study the nood | A |
| Never saw such a study as this | F |
| The luggage went by and the guard | A |
| Looked out and his eyes fell on Grice | G |
| We fancy he looked at him hard | A |
| We think that he looked at him twice | G |
| - | |
| They say if the telegram s true | H |
| When he woke up he wondered good Lord | A |
| Why the engine man didn t heave to | H |
| Why the train didn t take him aboard | A |
| And now by the case of poor Grice | G |
| We think that a daily express | D |
| Should travel with sunshades and ice | G |
| And a lookout for flags of distress | D |
