Rondel
Bribery, suicide, crime—
Ain’t it a deuce of a note
Trying to fashion a rhyme—
One that exchanges will quote?
Why do the papers devote
Pages and pages to grime,
Bribery, suicide, crime?
Ain’t it a deuce of a note?
Ain’t it a deuce of a note
Trying to fashion a rhyme—
One that exchanges will quote?
Why do the papers devote
Pages and pages to grime,
Bribery, suicide, crime?
Ain’t it a deuce of a note?
Once when the psalter I smote
Sounds that were sweet and sublime
Came; but to-day if a pote
Echoes the theme of his time—
Bribery, Suicide, Crime—
Ain’t it a deuce of a note?
Sounds that were sweet and sublime
Came; but to-day if a pote
Echoes the theme of his time—
Bribery, Suicide, Crime—
Ain’t it a deuce of a note?
