But I do not feel called on to kick up a bobbery.
Poor little Siam! It's rather a shame;
But—at present—I shan't take a hand in the game.
Complete satisfaction? Well, that's something gained!
"The claims" I had fancied a trifle elastic;
"The terms" looked ambiguous, made to be strained,
To politic pressure prepared to be plastic.
Micawber craved time, and a chance of "turn-up;"
And craft has its uses as well as a Krupp.
Sturdy assertion on one side that table,
