A PARABLE by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

First Line: HIGH-BROW HOUSE WAS FURNISHED WELL
Last Line: AND THERE YOU'LL FIND IT STILL.
Subject(s): GRAIL; HOUSEKEEPING; HOUSES; STORY-TELLING; HOLY GRAIL; GRAAL;

HIGH-BROW HOUSE was furnished well
With many a goblet fair;
So when they brought the Holy Grail,
There was never a space to spare.
Simple Cottage was clear and clean,
With room to store at will;
So there they laid the Holy Grail,
And there you'll find it still.
