Mr. Buechner’s Dream

[Verse 1]

Old Chesterton with his cherub's face

Greets Lewis by the fireplace

And Miss O'Connor, dressed in southern grace

Can't keep up with Mr. Williams' pace



[Verse 2]

The night concealed, in love revealed

The players in this scene

And Wimsey rides a wizard's tide

In Mr. Buechner's dream



[Verse 3]

Eliot in tweed and smoke

Laughs at G.K.'s bawdy joke

And Carroll in his Oxford's coat

Pulls a talking rabbit from his cloak



[Verse 4]

Arriving late, Percy gravitates

To Miss Sayer and Mr. Greene

And Wimsey rides a wizard's tide

In Mr. Buechner's dream
