JUSTICE

by Alexander Search · 28-7-1907
Published 28/07/1907

There was a land, which I suppose,

Where everyone had a crooked nose;


And the crooked nose that everyone had

In no manner did make him sad.


But in that land a man was born

Whose nose more straight and clean was worn;


And the men of that land with a public hate

Killed the man whose nose was straight.
