Hats off to world-famous British justice,

The envy of all benighted nations!

Examples of its recent victories -

Six years for the man who’d abused for months

And then killed his girlfriend’s two-year old son…

He should be out in three. The mother’s free

(She’s suffered enough.) Next, the old woman

Of seventy, done for assault on the

Teenager, part of a gang said to be

Throwing stones at her window. She got pissed

Off, jabbing him in the chest. Well, this sends

A good message out, eh? Society

Must not protect itself! Call the police

(…But don’t bother if the offender’s young)
