No poet afloat wrote as dreadf'lly as he.
But, oh, what a one-off! So wonderf'lly twee
was the Sergeant N. ("Jim") Smithe-Magee!
So thick were his shtick, ‘twouldn’t slice with a knife!
Still, his clowning abounded. Buffoon'ry ran rife.
As both did -- indeed, do (see "Don Durk," "John Fife's wife") --
with Ms. Meigs…and N. ("Jim") Smithe-Magee.
