I know that my—anonymous—smart verses,
Are piling oof for middlemen in sacks,
My verse brings pros. seal-coats and well-stuffed purses
My back care bows, whilst profits lade their backs.
If you'll show me any "Poet" more prolific,
If you'll point to any "patterer" more smart,
One whose "patriotic" zeal is more terrific,
Who can give me at snide slang the slightest start,
Who can fit a swell, a toff, a cad, a coster,
At the very shortest notice, as I can,
