Tenaciously, and with aplomb, A sapper defused a large bomb. His technical skill And firmness of will Caused watchers to mutter: "Quel homme!"

A rogue chromosome that I've got Has made me a real xenoglot. I'll be talking, then bingo! Out comes some strange lingo, Like 'ciao', 'entre nous', and such rot.

An inn near the end of our travel On byways of grass, mud and gravel Served dry, tasteless ham And sour greengage jam, But we were too hungry to cavil.

A highwayman rode over plains With his takings secured to the reins. Reliant on speed, He goaded his steed Till it threw him and trampled his brains.
