And Stonehenge only rashers of granite,

And Pompeii a "toad in the hole."

Trajan's Column to him's a Poloney,

And the Pyramids Omelettes Soufflées;

Irish stew are ould Erin's Round Towers,

And a nice little hash is Herne Bay.

But of late, he'd had little worth eating,

So one day he—inclin'd for a treat—

At the Board of Works called to inquire

What new buildings they'd got he could eat.
