The Importance of Being Ernest Bryll | final version

See? Hillary C. came to Ernest Bryll
in the White House it was a siesta still
to borrow hilarious binoculars
without them world wasn't so jocular

lend me your specs, she asks politely
or I'll ask the army, they'll come rightly
with thrill Bryll Ernest says so it shows
that his specs were found on Hillary's nose

a Polish poet Julian Tuwim wrote
a similar hilarious anecdote
now we say in earnest with a nice thrill
how important for us is Ernest Bryll

(For Ernest Bryll on His 80th Birthday - Happy Birthday!)
