Workhouse

How is this free verse poem. Perfumef handkerchifs Hiding thete smells SEND THEM TO THE WORKHOUSE THEY ARE SPOILING MY MEAL Urchins and vagabonds Scavaging for food SEND THEM TO THE WORKHOUSE THEY ARE SPOILING MY MEAL The starving scrambling Food from the bins SEND THEM TO THE WORKHOUSE THEY ARE SPOILING MY MEAL Pickpockets stealing Stealing my bread SEND THEM TO THE GALLOWS THEY ARE SPOILING MY MEAL Christmas is coming Give them some gruel THE WORKHOUSE IS WAITING THE GALLOWS CAN WAIT The sweep boy is crying The chimney neefs sweeping WHIP HIM AND BEAT HIM THE CHIMNEY NEEDS SWEEPING Chestnuts roasting Carol singers caroling MERRY CHRISTMAS URCHINS AND ALL
