The bulging waistcoats of our profiteers.
But lo! a lot of useful wares
Within my modest range have come;
Trousers, I hear, are sold (in pairs)
At three-fifteen—a paltry sum;
And you can even get
Dittos as low as thirteen pounds the set.
I can afford a further lump
Of sugar in my cocoa—yes,
And cocoa too is on the slump,
