The cruciferous prophet sticks in my teeth- br I think I'd rather have a tidbit, of thief; br All covered, of course, in a vinegar sauce br With just a light dusting, of the true cross. br br Some rarefied spleen, set sideboard, br With red vintage wine; A.D. thirty-four br Frankincense and Myrrh, baked in aspic; br And saved for last, Shroud Flambe: digestif.
