Alien corn

CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS

If an Englishman robs an Englishman that's very regrettable, But as long as they keep it in the family, it's forgettable.

One doesn't want to be a dog in the manger, But it's quite different when a crime is committed by 'a stranger.'

Black's black and white's white, and life's a lottery.

Black can't become white just by being born in a Pottery.

Everyone knows their habits And they breed like rabbits.

The only way to stop them having descendants Is to keep out their dependents.

And it's only too probable They'll find the English more robbable.

It can't be so very wrong To send people back where they belong, So, if everything else fails, Why shouldn't we repatriate him to Wales?
