COMPENSATION
[By WHIM WHAM] The British mopplng-up of Hur terrorists in the Sind Province has been swift and vigorous. . . . The fortress palace of their leader, the Pir of Pagaro, was demolished. The Pir’s residential palaces, harems, and luxurious bath were also destroyed.— Cable message from New Delhi. In Future I’ll make it my Comfort To think, when my Hopes are unpinned And Feelings of Doubt and Frustration Blow up like a southerly Wind, How we punished the Pir of Pagaro, The Plague of the Province of Sind. It’s hard to keep Faith in the Future; It's wearisome having to wait For the Hour of the final Offensive. But, Courage! It won’t be too late. We've begun with the Pir of Pagaro— Let Hitler consider his Fate!
The Blow was successful and timely Though nameless the Leaders who planned it. Oh, call it a slight Operation, But it’s Something to prove wo can hand it To the plundering Pir of Pagaro, That wild and notorious Bandit!
