'Attend my fable if your ears be clean, In fair Banana Land we lay our scene - South Africa, renowned both far and wide For politics and little else beside: Where, having torn the land with shot and shell, Our sturdy pioneers as farmers dwell, And, 'twixt the hours of strenuous sleep, relax To shear the fleeces or to fleece the blacks: Where every year a fruitful increase bears Of pumpkins, cattle, sheep, and millionaires -'[The Wayzgoose, extract].
