"SUSTENTATION"
With the tricks ol' the trade Ami professional wiles. The methods of sharkdom And the crocodile smiles^ They take things for And count it 110 sin t To expansively .smile Whilst their taking you in. Thus the creatures so dreaded, For an obvious reason Find on the waters, Thei/ meat in due season. Doctors and lawyers Agitators M.P.s } Are helpless and hopeless Without the bawbees, Mechanics and bakers Agents excavators — Our friends in the garden Slugs 'snails and slaters— Are all seeking and smiling, Taking and giving, Some wli ere somehow, To obtain a living; Units, all battling For their subsistence In the great campaign For mortal existence.
