ANYTHING ELSE WRONG?
[By
WHIM WHAM]
Complaining is the only Thing Some sickly Jokers don’t get sick of. This tedious World, this Mess called Idle Which most of Us are in the Thick of Vexes some Jokers, they are not Contented with their present Lot. This WHIM WHAM is a Case in Point, For eyer grousing, going Crook. His Nose is always out at JointWhy can’t the poor Clown take a Look At the bright Side, like sanguine Sid? He’d have more -Readers if he did. Beeb says, these anti-social Verses Derive from faulty Education. The Reason why the Poet curses His fellow-man, his Boss, his Nation, Is- that his Impulses were thwarted In Primer One—his Mind distorted. That’s why the poor Goon goes half crazy When Racing Broadcasts bash his Ear. He will not listen to Aunt Daisy. .He isn’t normal—that is clear. Winston McCarthy makes him cry Like a hurt Child, he can’t tell why. He needs a good Psychiatrist, His poor mad System to adjust: One kind but flrm corrective Twist Would fix his Fretting, his Disgust, Cure him of Carping. Snarling, Biting. And even (dare one hope?) of Writing!
