The Humbling Strife
A doctor lived in London Town,
Who saw that All was Vicious.
But tasting up and tasting down,
He wrote: "it is Delicious!"
Now all in town consumed all day
The stuff of which the doctor say
Was good for them to swallow
Yet each held that himself he may
But judgement in the main should stay:
In hell 'd fall all his fellows
The doctor said "Then stop the thing
And see where it will lead us!"
But caring not what that would bring
All b'lieved themselves t'be virtuous.
