30 BALLADE OF THE NEW HUMOUR
Some toady’s risky “ mot,”
Some cad’s malicious rumour :—!
All’s porridge for your pot.
You label it as humour!
ENVOI
A swollen head you’ve got,
A suppurating tumour!
You write infernal rot,
And label it as humour!
1 Mr. Back, myself, the O.B., any member of Christ’s College, any
member of Corpus Christi College, any member of Emmanuel College, are
here severally enumerated.
