A Le^nd of UNO
(After Thomas Ingoldabj)
The President sat in the President's Chair-
Playboy and Commissar, all Were there:
Every Statesman, every Tycoon,
And Britain's Upholder, Sir Peto Colquhoun,
Mr. Muddington Maughan, which the toffs pronounce Moon,
Together with every type of buffoon
Everyone bad And everyone mad
Who'd foregathered to see what there was to be had,
Cheered like the Devil, and joined in the revel
(Excepting for Franco, since he was in Seville
But he dropped them a card, as he used to to Neville
That he could not take part in the business afoot,
But he'd take the occasion to send them some fruit).
The President sat in the President's Chair-—
Sir Peto was making a very long speech
And the Delegate Members, all and each
Drew on their blotters and twiddled dieir hair,
Thought about whiskeys they just couldn't reach
Hung out their tongues And expanded their lungs
While their minds ran on glasses and corkscrews and bungs—
And dreamed of a winner
And what was for dinner
And wished he'd sit down, the Ipng-winded old sinner.
Muddington Moon In a species of swoon
Was hoping the speech would be finishing soon.
But Sir Peto was doing his damndest to prove
That anything slightly resembling a move
Would certainly queer The whole pitch, far and near.
If Franco were made to go out on his ear
And they'd better put off the whole show for a year—
The Commissar growls And the Commissar scowls
And prays from the depths of his Socialist bowels
That Sound Dialectics, Karl Marx, or Old Nick
Would fly off with Sir Peto uncommonly quick,
And quite unawares, as he eyes the conventicle
He draws on his blotter a thing called a PENTACLE.
When Hark! there's a bang on the door of the Chamber.
