BREDON HILL
(With a wink at Mr. Housman) (CONSUMER Time on Bredon, The prices sound so dear, From all YA’s they call them To people far and near; +» A happy noise? No fear! HERE of a Wednesday evening (My love, they wouldn’t lie) We heard the stable prices Go soaring up so high About -us in the sky. "HE bills were mounting daily, But still the voice would cry: "Go to the shops, good people, Good people, go and buy." And then my love would sigh. AND I would turn and answer With voice and visage. glum: "You talk of ceiling prices? O noisy lad, come, come, You must think we are dumb." ®t ONSUMER Time, Dunedin? Oh, turn to the short-wave. I wish I were with Housman Where none has need to saveLying pretty in the grave.
