A Strict District

All the folks in the district 
Know that they should walks restrict
Or guards shall restrict their walks:
Make them suspend lengthened talks
Or with lengthened talk send down 
To the valley of the town…

All the folks in the district 
Like human lungs that constrict,
Because bronchitis is strict
And tormenting hour picked…

In an-too-strict district
No lips just funnily licked 
No face with a funny streak
Or prison for a full week;
Legal redress to not seek 
As lawyers have their harsh beak!

So, how like you such, free man!
Three months I’d live there and ran.
