The Whole Hysterical Passing Show
Patrick Kavanagh (1904-1967), "Leave Them Alone":
Newer› ‹Older
There's nothing happening that you hate
That's really worthwhile slamming;
Be patient. If you only wait
You'll see time gently damning
Newspaper bedlamites who raised
Each day the devil's howl,
Versifiers who had seized
The poet's begging bowl.
The whole hysterical passing show
The hour apotheosized
Into a cul-de-sac will go
And be not even despised.
