[Right over the scalp of his pancakey head]

Right over the scalp of his pancakey head
He has varnished himself, and the tint is as red
As the colour a Cardinal wears in excess
Of the homespun of Christ, who was greater with less.
How golden the policy bidding him pass
His career as a dwarf in a tussock of grass,
With no crime to commit! Being Fungus, not Man,
He is sinless from birth to the end of his span.
