Lady Charlemont (1914)

Look here!
I am sick and tired
of you people
prancing about
in the streets
waving flags
cheering
hollooing
and being
generally
bloody noisy.

It simply won't do.

Yes, yes
yes, of course
I know there
is a war on
but I didn't start
this war
so I will thank you
all of you
to please
kindly
recollect your positions
reconsider
and go home.

What? What did you say?

Win?
Of course we shall
win, we never
lose: how
peculiar
ha ha ha ha ha
how astonishing
you silly little man
to entertain
such a novel
proposition.
