The Metallic Allegory
Golden apples in a silver bowl
Golden eggs in a silver fowl
Golden butter on silver bread
Golden retriever on a silver lead
Silvery lead on a nickel counter
Silvery beads on a nicked half-hunter
Silvery tears on Ophelia's face
Silvery fat on my lamb fricace
Bronze bust of Lamb on a mountain height
Bronze glow in the cornfields as the sun sets at eight
Bronze cow leading the herd in at one
Bronze grave waits for mercurial bone
Brass bands play a tinny song
Brass teapot brews my lapsang souchong
Brass face blind to the mercurial crows
Brass tacks pinning the tails on cows
