Political Pantoum No. 2

Class-ification

 

Socialism! I’ve let that pass

Being middle, while that seems to be

Best suited for the working class:

What can it have to do with me?

 

Being middle, while that seems to be

Just possibly worth espousing,

What can it have to do with me?

It’s for those in social housing.

 

Just possibly worth espousing,

Whereas I would be quite ill matched,

It’s for those in social housing.

While where I live, we’re all detached.

 

Whereas I would be quite ill matched,

Working hard, yet nothing’s surer,

While where I live, we’re all detached,

Progressively getting poorer.

 

Working hard, yet nothing’s surer,

Socialism! I’ve let that pass,

Progressively getting poorer,

Best suited for the working class.
