Classic Poem

You stodgy, solid citizen, so cocksure and content,
Whose mansion's built on factory toil, and years of grinding rent—
Your character's unblemished, and your conscience is at peace,
But many a better man than you is known to the police.

You smug, right-thinking persons, who could sin not if you would,
Without the strength or brains or heart to do wrong or do good;
Who want things as they are, and take of life a lengthy lease—
There's many a better man than you that's “Wanted by the P'lice”.
