Seats of learning

CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS

At Oxford freedom's friends are fond Of throwing speakers in the pond.

At Cambridge they prefer by far

To overturn their motor-car.

While Bristol's notiop of a prank Is to pretend to rob a bank.

At Liverpool they bar the door, At Leicester lie upon the floor.

And Manchester is much the same.

At York they also play the game.

At Sussex they prefer requests By pouring paint upon their guests.

At Edinburgh they drown their ills By clamouring for freer pills.

And of them all by any test It's Edinburgh comes out the best, For, if they cannot write or read, At least they'll learn how not to breed.
