Mustard-and-Cress in boxes,

Greens in the jardinière,

And a trellis of Beans at Cox's,

Facing Trafalgar Square.

Lady Biffington's daughters

Are mulching the Greens with Clay;

Lady Smiffington waters

The Mustard-and-Cress all day;

And Cox's cashiers (those oners!)

Are feeling extremely rash,
