Shall the great cause for which we stand"

(Here someone dropped a knife)

"Fall into disrepute?" (Loud roars

Of "No, not it," from contrite nucivores).

"Bearing aloft a stainless shield

That none may smirch without remorse,

This management declines to yield

To crude displays of force;

Yet, since it seems the general wish,

Mock-cutlets will be five-pence less per dish."
