We've always got our groceries from him.

But the old orders soon shall cease to be,

And I must pass into an unknown land,

And at the corner by The Holly Tree

Where now he lifts a ceremonious hand

Yon constable shall scarce remember me,

Not that he ever——Quite. You understand.

And alien lips from mine must move to swear

Over the mangled remnants of a shirt

Brutally done to death with fiendish care
