63rd Chorus

Rather gemmy,
       Said the King of Literature
Sitting on a davenport
       at afternoon butler’s tea.

Rather gemmy, hm,
Always thought these sonnets
Of mine, were rather gemmy,
As you say,
              pureperfect gems
              of lucid poetry

Poetry being what it is today

Rather gemmy, I concluded,
        thinking you were right –
It isnt my fault that Buddha
        gave me helmet
Of Right Thought, and indices
        of long Saints
To Cope my Lope along
           with,
Seeing I never had harm
           from anything
But a Heavenly Farm.
