Ezra Pound - Alf’s Sixth Bit

Ezra Pound - Alf’s Sixth Bit

Let some new lying ass, br Who knows not what is or was, br Talk economics, br Pay for his witless noise, br Get the kid nice new toys, br Call him 'professor'. br br Lies from the specialist br Give t'old ones a newer twist br Harder to untie. br Here comes the hired gang br Blood on each tired fang br Covered with lip-stick. br br 'Oh, what a charming man,' br That's how the press blurb ran, br 'Professor K s is.' br Now they can't fire him. br NO! they won't hire him. br Still Dr. S 's br Not tied to the ring around, br Not quite snowed under. br br Being a physicist br They can't quite bribe him: br Oh, what a noise they made br Those parliamentarians. br br Oh what a fuss they made br Stirring the marmalade br These parliamentarians br Never an honest word br In their dim halls was heard br For more than a decade.
