Practical joke

Into the gleaming pate of Cassander,

Who's crying bloody murder,

Pierrot drills with a disingenuous air,

Gently, with a trepan skull-borer!

Then tamps in with his finger

His genuine Turkish tobacco

Into the gleaming pate of Cassander,

Who's crying bloody murder.

Then screws a cherry pipestem

Into the bald spot behind

And smugly puffs away on

His genuine Turkish tobacco

From the gleaming pate of Cassander.
