…and here’s some more (of that poim that is) for your dining and dancing pleasure…

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,

For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,

You will find it better policy to say: –
“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,

No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,

And the nation that pays it is lost!” (end poim excerpt)

From R.Kipling to “r.kelly” in under a century. What the hell happened?
