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. | Discover our poem explanations - click here!Other Poems of Interest...THE CROWDS CHEERED AS GLOOM GALLOPED AWAY by MATTHEA HARVEY SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS AMONG THE LAKES by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB AN EPITAPH (AFTER THE GREEK EPIGRAMS) by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB |
