Every Transfer Letter

Either sooner or later, Every transfer letter Would a chained worker unfetter, Him moving from an old camp To a new station dry or damp, This validating with a stamp, The reason for it not voicing But its taking of effect noising Him reminding of Diligence, As The company’s still trusted Agent, The message flashed across: His relocation’s a gain: not a loss, A new salubrious air to be breathed In a new scene hating knives are still sheathed The language of Transfer Letters! The carefully couched by our Linguistic Betters: Always as plain as a pikestaff And straight like a ramrod Not anything stating by a half; To seekers of alterations, a cord: “You are to report to branch B within one week, Further instructions at your new station seek”.
