Your intentions are all right | B |
And your general appearance | C |
Is intelligent and bright | B |
But the question you're discussing | A |
Rather flicks me on the raw | D |
And it really doesn't matter | E |
So we'll close the subject Haw ' | F |
- | |
Since the every first reformer | E |
Made suggestions in the trees | G |
All the old earth's agitators | H |
Meet with phrases such as these | G |
And it acts as brake and hobble | I |
On the progress of mankind | J |
This superior aloofness | K |
Of the static type of mind | J |
- | |
'Haw ' It rings throughout the ages | L |
Since dim neolithic years | M |
Striving to discount the credit | N |
Of philosophers and seers | O |
And the richest fattest molluse | O |
Spat it out in savage hate | P |
When he marked his fellow's yearning | A |
Towards a structure vertebrate | P |
- | |
'My good chap enthusiasm's | O |
Right enough just now and then | Q |
But your pose is idiotic | R |
In the sight of sober men | Q |
Calm yourself my worthy fellow | S |
Stay that wildly wagging jaw | T |
The ah mattah you're debating | A |
Isn't on the tapis Haw ' | - |
- | |
Spoken in a haughty fashion | U |
With an apathetic glance | O |
Then that simple interjection | U |
Clothes a mass of ignorance | O |
'Haw The fellow is a boundah | P |
Do not heed his fuss and fret | P |
And the subject he alludes to | P |
Isn't mentioned in our set ' | - |
- | |
Friend if you have privileges | O |
Fairly come by more or less | O |
And the claims of poorer brothers | O |
Cause you most acute distress | O |
When all argument has failed oyu | V |
'Gainst their Socialistic law | T |
Cultivate the distant manner | E |
And the haughty Tory 'Haw ' | - |
- | |
Cultivate the cool aloofness | O |
When they seek with howlings rude | P |
To assault your proud position | U |
Cultivate the platitude | P |
And when they bring forth suggestions | O |
Of a democratic type | W |
Tell then friend it is 'un British ' | - |
And 'the time is not yet ripe ' | - |
- | |
When with calm unswerving reason | U |
And with logic merciless | O |
They convince your better nature | E |
That abuses need redress | O |
Do not weakly yield to measures | O |
That your prejudices hate | P |
But remark 'It's not at issue ' | - |
And that closes the debate | P |
- | |
Still my friend despite your coldness | O |
'Spite reactionary 'Haws ' | - |
These reformers somehow get there | X |
When they have a worthy cause | O |
And the fat and foolish molluse | O |
Who the vertebrates ignored | P |
Did not block all evolution | U |
So the scientists record | P |
- | |
As the world goes bravely onward | P |
Leaving molluses far behind | P |
Progress ever has to reckon | U |
With the static type of mind | P |
And the fighters in the vanguard | P |
Recognise this simple law | T |
'Social evolution mainly | Y |
Is the overthrow of 'Haw ' | - |
