Here is one from years ago:

Because I could not stop for Lunch,
It kindly stopped for me.
The lunch tray held a lemon sponge
And watercress and tea.

I heard a fly buzz - in the Slaw -
Immortal for an hour.
The tea was hot - a small Brazil -
Although the cream was sour.

Since then 'tis centuries, yet each
Seems shorter than the day
I first surmised the weekend was
Five working days away.
