Dear Sugar, dear Tea, and dear Corn Conspired with dear Representation, To laugh worth and honour to scorn, And beggar the whole British nation. Let us bribe the dear sharks, said dear Tea; Bribe, bribe, said dear Representation; Then buy with their own the dear humbugg'd and be The bulwarks of Tory dictation. Dear Sugar and Tea, said dear Corn, Be true to dear Representation; And then the dear crown will be worn, But to dignify dearest taxation. Dear Sugar, dear Corn, and dear Tea, Stick to me, said dear Representation; Let us still pull together, and we Shall still rob the dear British nation. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PLAYING SOMEONE ELSE'S PIANO by KAREN SWENSON THE CARD-DEALER by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI IN EMULATION OF MR.
