So now whene'er I drink a glass

Of wine that seems like rum,

Or peel myself an orange that

Reminds me of a plum,

Or if I come across a peach

With flavour like a bilberry,

I weep, for it reminds me so

Of Chiswick's Grape and Dahlia Show,

And that 'cute man I used to know,

Who could at will transform a sloe
