    Outstanding! I love "Hieronymo’s goin crazeee cat!"

    My favorite Eliot parody of all time was penned by James Joyce:

    Rouen is the rainiest place, getting
    Inside all impermeables, wetting
    Damp marrow in drenched bones.
    Midwinter soused us coming over Le Mans
    Our inn at Niort was the Grape of Burgundy.

    But the winepress of the Lord thundered over that grape of Burgundy
    And we left it in a hurgundy.
    (Hurry up, Joyce, it's time!)

    I heard mosquitoes swarm in old Bordeaux
    So many!
    I had not thought the earth contained so many.
    (Hurry up, Joyce, it's time)

    Mr Anthologos, the local gardener,
    Greycapped, with politeness full of cunning
    Has made wine these fifty years
    And told me in his southern French
    La petit vin is the surest drink to buy
    For if 'tis bad
    Vous ne l'avez pas paye
    (Hurry up, hurry up, now, now, now!)

    But we shall have great times,
    When we return to Clinic, that waste land
    O Esculapios!
    (Shan't we? Shan't we? Shan't we?)
