Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE DGHGIGJG KLMLNLLL| O Sacred Muse my lyre excuse | A |
| My verse is vagrant singing | B |

| For Grannies grey to paste away | D |
| Within an album cover | E |
| For maids in class to primly pass | F |
| And lads to linger over | E |

| I take the clay of every day | D |
| And mould it in my fashion | G |
| I seek to trace the commonplace | H |
| With humor and compassion | G |
| Of earth am I and meekly try | I |
| To be supremely human | G |
| To please I plan the little man | J |
| And win the little women | G |

| No evil theme shall daunt my dream | K |
| Of fellow love and pity | L |
| I tune my lute to prostitute | M |
| To priest I pipe my ditty | L |

| I bow to altars holy | L |
| Lord humble me so I may be | L |
| A Laureate of the Lowly | L |
