Noël Coward Quote

These family expeditions
Admittedly are a bore
But there is just one uncle that I positively adore. Poor Uncle Harry
Wanted to be a missionary
So he took a ship and sailed away.
This visionary
Hotly pursued by dear Aunt Mary
Found a South Sea isle on which to stay.
The natives greeted them kindly,
And invited them to dine
On yams and clams and human hams and vintage coconut wine
The taste of which was filthy
But the after-effects divine.

Uncle Harry from Pacific 1860 (1946).
