"Let's Stop Somebody from Doing Something", Ballads for Broadbrows (1930).
Let's stop somebody from doing something!
Everybody does too much.
Everybody does too much.
For I must write to The Times tonight, and save the world from sin.
The portions of a woman which appeal to man's depravity
Are constructed with considerable care.
