THE NEW HUDIBRAS, by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB First Line: When prints grew bluer than the sky Last Line: Call for his cudgel and his beaver. Subject(s): Economics; Hudibras (butler); Revolutions; Utopia | |||
When prints grew bluer than the sky And smug men filled the M.o.I.; When Ministries, sprung up like mushrooms, Took on new typists and hush-hush rooms; When science dehydration cried up With powdered eggs and turnips dried up; When postmen in the act of leverage Stopped short to boost Utopia's beverage, When bankers were proclaimed as comics By London School of Economics; When revolution was demanded By alien leftists lately landed: Then did John Bull, the unbeliever, Call for his cudgel and his beaver. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UTOPIA by VINCENT WILLIAM MALLEY A REASONABLE CONSTITUTION by HERMAN MELVILLE EUTOPIA by FRANCIS TURNER PALGRAVE ERUPTION IN UTOPIA by GENEVIEVE TAGGARD THE BOOK OF THE DEAD: THE OTHER WORLD by ANONYMOUS IN A COPY OF MORE'S (OR SHAW'S OR WELL'S OR PLATO'S) UTOPIA by HENRY MAXIMILIAN BEERBOHM AMONG THE LAKES by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB AN EPITAPH (AFTER THE GREEK EPIGRAMS) by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB |
