Ezra Pound - Alf’s Seventh Bit
Work rating: Low

Did I `ear it `arf in a doze:
The Co-ops was a goin` somewhere,
Did I `ear it while pickin` `ops;
How they better start takin` care,

That the papers were gettin` together
And the larger stores were likewise
Considering something that would, as you
Might say, be a surprise

To the Co-ops, a echo or somethin`?
They tell me that branded goods
Don`t get a discount like Mr. Selfridge
Of 25 per cent, on their ads., and the woods

Is where the Co-ops are goin` to,
And that Oxford Street site
Is not suited to co-operation
A sort of`Arab`s dream in the night.

``We have plenty, so let it be.`
The example of these consumers in co-operation
Might cause thought and be therefore
A peril to Selfridge and the nation.
