Kenneth Slessor - Cannibal Street
Work rating: Low

"BUY, who`ll buy," the pedlar sings, 
 "Bones of beggars, loins of kings, 
 Ribs of murder, haunch of hate, 
 And Beauty`s head on a butcher`s plate!" 
 Hook by hook, on steaming stalls, 
 The hero hangs, the harlot sprawls; 
 For Helen`s flesh, in such a street, 
 Is only a kind of dearer meat. 
 "Buy, who`ll buy," the pedlar begs, 
 "Angel-wings and lady-legs, 
 Tender bits and dainty parts— 
 Buy, who`ll buy my skewered hearts?" 
 Buy, who`ll buy? The cleavers fall, 
 The dead men creak, the live men call, 
 And I (God save me) bargained there, 
 Paid my pennies and ate my share.
