Diphtheria be jolly well dashed! It is often, as DUDFIELD explains,
Mere "follicular(--hem!--) tonsillitis." _Me_ bother my 'ed about Drains?

That L.C.C. gave itself airs and declared it would wipe my old heye
With its bloomin' Big Pots and "Progressives." Aha! where the doose are

And 'aving a heye on High Orfice _I_ can't waste _my_ time on mere
Drainage!
