The Fourth Estate

A little poem for Saturday.



The Fourth Estate.



Embedded in such legalise
As please M'Lords
A little wheeze
Could show good cause
To such respect
When body politic
Dissect.

That every class
Of hound or hack
Was safely muzzled
Round the back.

Or carcass nailed
In some debate
That prowled about
The Fourth Estate.
