But in to-day's wild Socialistic Babel

Blest if I always know just where we are.

But if I'm out of work, or out of fuel,

Me and a many thousand like me, mate,

Your "friendly" conflict seems a leetle cruel

To us, with idle hands or empty grate.

In this connection; so would my pale friend;

He's a poor Clerk. I fancy human charity,

All round, a lot of bitter strife would end;
