As the honour was laid on him
the ennobled made a request
could the hall staff keep the dining room warm ?
he thought that it was best
see he’d climbed up great Mount Everest
without even catching a chill
but drafty University corridors
were enough to make him hold still
turn up the heating …. tutors shouted
before our guest he does flee
we need to hear him give his speech
so see the heat up by a degree
