On the chair that rendered shiny
Hindenburg’s enormous bags.
Blotting-papered, india-rubbered,
Good as new, with pencils piled,
Bring me the immortal cupboard
Where the Hymn of Hate was filed;
Who can say how oft, when brisker
Beat the heart behind his ribs,
Tirpitz wiped upon a whisker
Pensively these part-worn nibs?
