Ezra Pound - The Charge Of The Bread BrigadeEzra Pound - The Charge Of The Bread Brigade
Work rating: Low


Half a loaf, half a loaf, Half a loaf? Urn-hum? Down through the vale of gloom Slouched the ten million, Onward th` `ungry blokes, Crackin` their smutty jokes! We`ll send `em mouchin` `ome, Damn the ten million! There goes the night brigade, They got no steady trade, Several old so`jers know Monty has blunder`d. Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to buy the pie, Slouching and mouching, Lousy ten million! Plenty to right of `em, Plenty to left of `em, Yes, wot is left of `em, Damn the ten million. Stormed at by press and all, How shall we dress `em all? Glooming and mouching! See `em go slouching there, With cowed and crouching air Dundering dullards! How the whole nation shook While Milord Beaverbrook Fed `em with hogwash!
