The customs of this land have all
Been published in a bulky tome.
The author is a man they call
Jerome K. Jerome K. Jerome.
So, lest on his preserves I poach,
This subject I refuse to broach.
The moral here is plain to see.
If true the hackneyed witticism
Which stamps Originality
As‘ undetected plagiarism,’
What a vocation I have miss'd
As undetected plagiarist!
