Oranges and Lemons
Clustered by St. Clemen's,
And Sea Kale careering past the kerb on London Wall!
And oh, for private Mushroom beds rolling down the Mall!
Motor engines, motor engines, do not wear a bonnet!
You have artificial heat—grow something on it!
Precious artificial heat, costly to instal;
Turn it into a hot-bed, growing food for all!
Must you have a superstructure? Let it be a hot-house
Forcing (say) some early peas—the only decent pot-house;
