Kipling wrote some lines long since that ended "Pay, Pay, Pay!"

And he helped to clean up Africa. That war was children's play

With this that has to sift the sea, that's playing hide and seek

And prisoners' base with submarines that scuttle life. Last week

I heard a pure-food specialist stand up and start his chant

With "The way to beat Berlin is just to 'Plant, Plant, Plant!'"

They say all nature's short of crops this year and next may be.
