JUSTICE AND HER ALLY
THE SPIRIT OF SCOTLAND YARD
Justice:--"Just as useful, and infinitely cheaper."
|
Justice and Her Ally.
(SEE CARTOON.)
HOW little or how much
Are we supposed to owe
To the London police
In keeping the peace?
That's what we want to know.
And does the gallant force
Sufficient skill bestow
|
On hindering crime
In the dark night-time?
That's what we want to know.
The spirit of Scotland Yard
May seem to live and grow;
But is it the best
In which one could invest?
That's what we want to know.
Is Warren the right man there,
Or would a dumb scarecrow
|
(Not receiving a screw)
Just as usefully do?
That's what we want to know.
