THE GLUGS OF GOSH
So the Glugs continued with greed and glee,
To buy cheap clothing, and pills, and tea;
Till every Glug in the land of Gosh
Owned three clean shirts and a fourth in the wash.
But they all grew idle, and fond of ease,
And easy to swindle, and hard to please;
And the voice of Joi was a lonely voice.
When he railed at Gosh for its foolish choice.
But the great King grinned, and the good Queen gushed.
As the goods of the Ogs were madly rushed.
And the Knight. Sir Stodge, with a wave of his hand,
Declared it a happy and prosperous land.
