Frau Jung Was My Mainstay
Donkey shot, the French would call it
Servants to a higher power
Sanctioning what might befall it
Every hour, on the hour
Tilting like the Tower of Pisa
(eighteenth wonder of the world)
Around my ankle tightly curled
From Godalming to Gizeh
Pancho Stanza, true companion
On the road to Mandalay
Leads us through the hidden canyon
That the silent trees betray
Winking at his master's folly
As the ivy slowly crept
And the nodding donkey slept
With dreams of Mr Polly
