Once upon a time a fearsome presence ev'rwhere;
Now the cynosure of lazy idler's sleepy stare –
the communist with passion still believes in Santa Claus;
he calls him Marx or Stalin, and will lead you in applause
if you stop to listen to him during a harangue
that is more outdated than a glass of chalky Tang.
Do communists get pensions? That is what I want to know;
Or will the Revolution give them lots of Bill Gate's dough?
