Twenty feet from side to side and half a mile in length,

Built of rosewood and mahogany of double extra strength.

The C in C had gone to jail to answer to the charge

Of saying what he thought about Democracy at large.

So the Council of Democracy had taken on the job,

After voting the removal of his Autocratic nob.

And the table was erected in a calm secluded spot,

Well away from any trenches, lest a voter should be shot).

And the Chairman raised a hammer and he hit the board a whack,

No one paid the least attention, so he put the hammer back.
