Lawrence Hall [email protected] Dispatches for the Colonial Office A Visit to the (Euphemism) With Praise for The Sacred White Bowl of Our People Several times each day the call of sanitation Requires of each of us a digestive salutation Within an appropriate private station For needful purgation and evacuation All of mankind, of every land and nation Even Thracian, Haitian, Croation, Dalmatian Must discreetly retire for a brief duration To return to the earth a small donation In this we must conclude, in explanation From the indignity of the situation With no exception, and no aberration That Man is not the glory of God’s Creation (All employees must wash their hands before returning to work)
