Ezra Pound - Song Of The Six Hundred M.P.`SEzra Pound - Song Of The Six Hundred M.P.`S
Work rating: Low


‘We are `ere met together in this momentous hower, Ter lick th` bankers` dirty boots an` keep the Bank in power.’ We are `ere met together ter grind the same old axes And keep the people in its place a`payin` us the taxes. We are six hundred beefy men (but mostly gas and suet) An’ every year we meet to let some other feller do it.` I see their `igh `ats on the seats an` them sprawling on the benches And thinks about a Rowton `ouse and a lot of small street stenches. `O Britain, muvver of parliaments, `ave you seen yer larst sweet litter? Could yeh swap th` brains of orl this lot fer `arft a pint o` bitter?` ‘I couldn`t,` she sez, ‘an` I aint tried, They`re me own,` she sez to me, ‘As footlin` a lot as was ever spawned to defend democracy.`
