Our mystery-mongers are full of resource;

There's a bigamy boom and a vogue of divorce;

To the licence of flappers we freely allude,

And we do what we can with the cult of the nude.

No, the War isn't missed; there's a murrain of strikes

Where a paper can take any side that it likes;

We are done with denouncing the filth of the Bosch,

But we still have our own dirty linen to wash;

Though we trade with the brute as a man and a brother,

Our Warriors still can abuse one another.
