Specially in bran-new cities, just between the knead and bake,

And where all the population are severely on the make.

What between the Common Council, and the more uncommon sort,

Politicians, Press, and preachers, Scroper fell uncommon short.

All of such as come a-plummin’ when a puddin’s to be had;

All against his best contractin’ counteractin’ mighty bad.

Therefore when this edificial had got up his edifice,

All who’d not been edifishing with him soon got up a hiss;

Said the stuff upon the buildin’ was the worst that could be had,

Likewise called the architexture architechnically bad.
