My dear Poet Laureate	A
Do not I implore you	B
Be perturbed	C
It is not my purpose to harp	D
Upon old strings	E
Or to express the smallest satisfaction	F
Either with you as an official personage	G
Or with your verses as a production of an official personage	G
I have called to day as it were	H
For a little quiet talk	I
You are a fellow townsman of mine	J
Consequently	K
I am a fellow townsman of yours	L
We ought to get on well together	H
Between ourselves my dear Poet Laureate	A
It seems to me	K
That if you were to set about it	M
In the right way	N
You might with very little trouble	O
Render a real service to the State	P
Being as you are	Q
The only writer fellow	R
Who in his literary capacity	K
Is associated with the Court	S
You have if I may say so chances and opportunities	T
Such as do not appear to have been vouchsafed	S
To any other contemporary worker in the department of Letters	U
Our Gracious Sovereign Lord King Edward VII	V
I make no doubt	S
Continually consults you on matters literary	K
Dear Mr Austen I can hear him saying	W
Would you now advise me to read	S
Mr Newverse's Sonnets	X
And Miss Jumpabouti's new novel	O
Or would you not	S
Of course my dear Poet Laureate	S
If you were one of those stiff ungenerous Poets Laureate	S
Who make it a rule to stick to business	Y
You would say very respectfully	K
Your Majesty honours me	K
But I am not your Majesty's Book Taster	H
Being as your Majesty is aware	Z
Paid only to wangle my harp	D
In celebration of Births Deaths and Marriages	A2
Therefore I must respectfully civilly humbly and generally otherwisely	K
Beg to decline to answer your Majesty's kind inquiry	K
But my dear Poet Laureate	S
There is nothing of that sort about you	B
You believe that a Poet Laureate	S
Should not only be a sort of walking rhyming dictionary	K
But also a general compendium of advice counsel and straight tips	B2
For crowned heads	C2
Hence I make no doubt	S
That when his Majesty the King	W
Does ask you for a hint as to the kind of book he ought to read	S
You break the marble box of your wisdom	D2
Upon the palace floor	E2
And expound things to him	F2
Having thus the ear	G2
Of an exceedingly amiable and capable Monarch	H2
You should by all means	I2
Take advantage of the circumstance	J2
To do what you can in that quarter	H
For the benefit of your brethren and sisters of the pen	K2
Many of them my dear Poet Laureate	S
Are at the present moment	S
Going about the country	K
With weary souls and tattered nerves	L2
Because their Services to Literature	H
Have not been blessed and approved	S
Not to say recognised	S
By the Crown	M2
Some of them believe in their hearts	N2
That they ought to have a peerage	G
Others desire to be Baronets Knights and so forth	O2
In order that their wives may be called Lady	S
Others whom I know	R
Would be well content with a humble K C B	S
And yet others	U
Would go off their heads with joy	G
If they might only be invited regularly	S
To the King's Levees and Droring Rooms	P2
My dear Poet Laureate	S
I charge you to do your best for these suffering people	K
WRITING IS A NOBLE ART	S
IT SHOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE RECOGNISED BY THE CROWN	M2
Rub these facts well in my dear Poet Laureate	S
You know who to rub 'em into	S
And while you are about it	S
There are two persons	Q2
On whose behalf	V
You might use every legitimate endeavour	H
To rub your hardest	S
One of them my dear Poet Laureate is YOURSELF	V
And the other is	A2
MYSELF	V
Your own desires in the way of recognition	F
Are of course your own affair	Z
Ask for what you like my dear Poet Laureate	S
And see that you get it	S
For me	S
Let me whisper	H
I want a pension	F
