Classic and Contemporary Poetry

BBC by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB

First Line: HERE IS THE NEWS, AND SOMEONE IS READING IT
Last Line: HERE IS GRUMP'S GRIEVANCE, AND GRUMP HIMSELF GROWLING IT.
Subject(s): BRITISH BROADCASTING COMPANY; COURTS & COURTIERS; GRIEF; B.B.C.; ROYAL COURT LIFE; ROYALTY; KINGS; QUEENS; SORROW; SADNESS;
Here is the news, and someone is reading it;
Here is a cause, and someone is pleading it;
Here is a prayer, and someone is needing it;

Here's the King's English, and some fool is fouling it;
Here's a stale joke, and some ass is howling it;
Here is Grump's grievance, and Grump himself growling it.
