Testo Triumphs Of A Taxidermist

I've been up to no good, as Mother would say, Indulge me awhile for I've quite a display, A remarkable likeness, I'm sure you'll agree, My figure's a triumph of rare artistry. I've a footman I'd lured from the sevants hall, In a pose to delight all who call, And a charming old lady who was collecting for Scouts, And the vicar who enquired if I'd seen her about. I've a tableau to please the discerning eye, A Harem, for one must diversify, Enchanting believe me, and taken from life, I was almost reluctant to take up the knife. I've a salesman to whom I couldn't sey no, whom I had to subdue as his attitude shows, And my piece de resistance, the last word in art, My firis wife Ophelia from whom I couldn't part.
