A Moral Alphabet/N for Ned
N STANDS FOR NED,
Maria's younger brother,
Who, walking one way, chose to gaze the other.
In Blandford Square—a crowded part of town—
Two People on a tandem knocked him down;
Whereat a Motor Car, with warning shout,
Ran right on top and turned him inside out:
The damages that he obtained from these
Maintained him all his life in cultured ease.
MORAL:
The law protects you. Go your gentle way:
The Other Man has always got to Pay.
