Which is useful in removing
All the ills of human fate;
If there’s any glorious custom
Which our faults can dissipate,
And can casually thrust ’em
Out of sight and make us great;
It’s the plan by which we shirk
Half our matu-ti-nal work,
The glorious institution of always being late.
Barry Pain, journalist and author, following the trend of the hour, produced this amusing set of parodies.
