A poem by Hilaire Belloc

Lord Abbott

________________________________________________
Title:     Lord Abbott
Author: Hilaire Belloc [More Titles by Belloc]

[Alcibiades, third Baron ABBOTT of Brackley in Southamptonshire]


Lord Abbott's coronet was far too small,
So small, that as he sauntered down White Hall
Even the youthful Proletariat
(Who probably mistook it for a Hat)
Remarked on its exiguous extent.
Here is a picture of the incident.
