MIDDLE CLASS
- I pay my way at treble price Though bonus less, alas ! And yet my ways are mild and nice, Because I’m middle class. I walk, while Harry, Dick and Tom In costly motors pass, Their push I lack, and their aplomb, Because I’m middle class. I am the buffer of the StateSome say “a silly ass” For bowing humbly to my fate Because I’m middle class. But mushroom riches come and go, And booms or panics pass, Yet —rock-like—in the ebb and How Will stand the Middle Class . ‘‘Sunday Pictorial.’
