Game, set and match to Bazza. Tennyson is about as English as it is possible to get. He liked to lie in a hot bath for hours as all true Englishmen do. In the interests of scholarship I append the limerick. Those of saintly disposition avert your eyes NOW.
There was a young man of Dundee
Who molested an ape in a tree.
The result was quite horrid,
All arse and no forehead,
Three balls and a purple goatee.
One would suppose the thing was a baboon but it won't rhyme.
