Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIJI KLM NIOI| Within his office smiling | A |
| Sat JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN | B |
| But all the screws of Birmingham | C |
| Were working in his brain | D |
| - | |
| The heart within his bosom | E |
| Was as a millstone hard | F |
| His eye was cold and cruel | G |
| His face was frozen lard | F |

| He had the map of Africa | H |
| Upon his table spread | I |
| He took a brush and with the same | J |
| He painted it blood red | I |

| He heard no moan of widows | K |
| But only the hurrah | L |
| Of charging lines and squadrons | M |
| And 'Rule Britannia ' | - |
| - | |
| A white dove to his window | N |
| With branch of olive sped | I |
| He took a ruler in his hand | O |
| And struck the white dove dead | I |
