Ingenuous child with a box of new toys
Toy lions carnivorous, cannon fumiferous
Engines vaporous-
from T.S. Eliot – The Triumph of Bullshit on Rap Genius
Meaning
Eliot believes the female critics see him as a ridiculously immature poet, the literary equivalent of a little boy playing with toy lions, cannons, and trains. Notice how the cannon image makes him a childish version of epic war poets like Homer.
