Nightly Coal Kimono
These cosy virtuosi
These duffers of the realm
Are here today to demonstrate
Whose hand is on the helm
And as the ferry leaves the port
The fare-thee-wells are sweet and short
These arty literati
These duffers of the globe
Are here today to justify
The medal and the robe
And as the cognoscenti kneel
The how's-yer-fathers are genteel
These twenty cognoscenti
These duffers of our time
Are here today to validate
The sentence for their crime
And as the jury marches in
The holier-than-thous begin
These hairy cavalieri
These duffers of the deep
Are here today to sanctify
Each slattern in her sleep
And as the silver censer swings
The told-you-sos are hurled at kings
