    As I am rhymer,
And now at least a merry one,
    Mr. Mum's Rudesheimer
    And the church of St. Geryon
    Are the two things alone
    That deserve to be known
In the body and soul-stinking town of Cologne.

This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
