Dire Straits.
Pity the poor, and them that find,
that, of the cheese,
they're left the rind!
Pity all them, what has to beg,
for just the shell,
off of the egg!
Dire straits don't cover it,
More's the pity,
isn-it!
Pity them what's of the common herd!
Now Mad Cow Disease,
is once more stirred!
Pity them, what don't have cars,
to flee, in all directions,
from deadly SARS!
Pity Iraq and Afghanistan!
Pity them all,
to the very last man!
Pity friends and pity foes,
The ignorant
and them what knows!
Pity the many and the few.
Pity the captain
and his crew!
But above all others,
in dire straits too,
pity anyone, who'll pity you!
