Gilbert Keith Chesterton (Гилберт Кит Честертон)
Rotarians
The Symbol The speaking at the Rotary is Praise devoid of Proof The talking at the Rotary turns mostly on the oof But both require an Emblem; and a Wheel is just the thing When you argue in a circle and do business in a Ring. At a Rotarian Lunch Broken on another wheel than Rotary St. Catherine's body set her spirit free Here rests the body that the soul may squirm In all joints broken to a jointless worm. A Declaration of Dependence The Jeffersonian justice which Degenerate hucksters quote Republicans have had by right Rotarians by rote.
