Rhyme Scheme: AABCDE EADACB BECAAD DBAEAC CDABEA ACEDBA BEA| Our great work the Otia Merseiana | A |
| Edited by learned Mister Sampson | A |
| And supported by Professor Woodward | B |
| Is financed by numerous Bogus Meetings | C |
| Hastily convened by Kuno Meyer | D |
| To impose upon the Man of Business | E |
| - | |
| All in vain The accomplished Man of Business | E |
| Disapproves of Otia Merseiana | A |
| Turns his back on Doctor Kuno Meyer | D |
| Cannot be enticed by Mister Sampson | A |
| To be present at the Bogus Meetings | C |
| Though attended by Professor Woodward | B |
| - | |
| Little cares the staid Professor Woodward | B |
| He being something of a man of business | E |
| Knows that not a hundred Bogus Meetings | C |
| To discuss the Otia Merseiana | A |
| Can involve himself and Mister Sampson | A |
| In the debts of Doctor Kuno Meyer | D |
| - | |
| So the poor deluded Kuno Meyer | D |
| Unenlightened by Professor Woodward | B |
| Whom upon the word of Mister Sampson | A |
| He believes to be a man of business | E |
| Fit to run the Otia Merseiana | A |
| Keeps on calling endless Bogus Meetings | C |
| - | |
| Every week has now its Bogus Meetings | C |
| Punctually convened by Kuno Meyer | D |
| In the name of Otia Merseiana | A |
| Every other week Professor Woodward | B |
| Takes his place and as a man of business | E |
| Audits the accounts with Mister Sampson | A |
| - | |
| He and impecunious Mister Sampson | A |
| Are the mainstay of the Bogus Meetings | C |
| But the alienated Man of Business | E |
| Cannot be allured by Kuno Meyer | D |
| To attend and meet Professor Woodward | B |
| Glory of the Otia Merseiana | A |
| - | |
| Kuno Meyer Great Professor Woodward | B |
| Bogus Meetings damn for men of business | E |
| Mister Sampson's Otia Merseiana | A |
