3old corned-beef’s rusty armour spreads disease
4with cherry-pips his cottage floor is sown

10with quill white-collared through his life will jog
11from cool Parnassus down to wild Loch Ness

13though bretzels take the dols from board-room drum
14fried grilled black pudding’s still the world’s best yum
