For MGM did Y, ____- A stately astrodome decree
- While Art, the s.f. writer, ran
- Through plots incredible to man,
- In search of solvency....
- So twice five miles of Elstree ground
- With sets and props were girdled round...
- A savage place! as eerie and enchanted
- As ere beneath a flickering arc was haunted
- By child-star wailing for her demon mother...
- For months meandering with a mazy motion
- Through stacks of scripts the desperate writer ran
- Then reached that plot incredible to man
- And sank, enSCUBA'd in the Indian Ocean.
- And midst the tumult Y heard from far
- Accountants' voices, prophesying war!
