My dear Sir or Madam	A
When James Watt	B
Or some such person	C
Had the luck	D
To see a kettle boil	E
He little dreamed	F
That he was discovering you	G
Otherwise he would have let his kettle boil	E
For a million million years	H
Without saying anything about it	I
However	J
James Watt	B
Omitted to take cognisance of the ultimate trouble	K
And here you are	L
And here alas you will stay	M
Till our iron roads are beaten into ploughshares	N
And Messrs Cook Sons are at rest	O
When I was young a single man	P
And after youthful follies ran	P
Which strange as it may seem is Wordsworth	Q
Your goings to and fro upon the earth	Q
And walkings up and down thereon	R
Were limited by the day trip	S
For half a crown	T
You went to Brighton	C
Or to Buxton and Matlock	U
Or Stratford on Avon	V
As the case may be	W
A special tap of ale	X
And a special cut of 'am	A
Were put on for your delectation	V
You sang a mixture of hymns	Y
And music hall songs	Z
On your homeward journey	V
And there was an end of the matter	J
But nowadays there is no escape from you	G
The trip that was over and done	V
In twenty four hours at most	A2
Has become a matter	J
Of Saturday to Monday at Sunny Saltburn	V
Ten days in Lovely Lucerne	V
And A Visit to the Holy Land for Ten Guineas	B2
Wherever one goes	C2
On this wide globe	D2
There shall one find	E2
Your empty ginger beer bottle and your old newspaper	J
The devastations	C2
Fence breakings	C2
And flower pot maraudings	C2
Which you once reserved for noblemen's seats	C2
Are now extended to the Rigi	F2
The Bridge of Sighs	C2
Mount Everest	G2
And the deserts of Gobi	V
And Shamo	A
Indeed I question whether it would be possible	K
For one to traverse	C2
The trackless forests of Mexico	H2
Or the dreary tundras of remote Siberia	I2
Or to put one's nose	C2
Into such an uncompromising fastness as Craig Ell Achaie	J2
Which is the last place the Canadian Pacific Railway made	K2
And which may not be properly spelled	L2
Without coming upon you	G
Picnicking in a spinny	V
And prepared to greet all and sundry	V
With that time honoured remark	M2
There's 'air	V
Or some other	V
Equally objectionable ribaldry	V
Well my dear Tripper	V
Time is short	N2
And poets fill their columns easily	V
So that I must not abuse you any more	V
You are part of the Cosmos	C2
And as such I am bound to respect you	G
But by Day and Night	O2
I wish	J2
That James Watt	B
Had taken no notice	C2
Of his boiling kettle	K
