So he sent round his cards for aesthetics and tea,
With some meerschaums and music to follow.
Then round his respected mahogany met
All the wisdom of Gottingen city;
And History mentions that one of the set
(Not a German) was decently witty.
Of course the disputing and noise was immense,
As is always the case with deep thinkers;
But I hear that the tea showed its excellent sense,
By agreeing with most of its drinkers.
