ON COMMUNISTS; EPIGRAM by EBENEZER ELLIOTT

First Line: WHAT IS A COMMUNIST? ONE WHO HATH YEARNINGS
Last Line: TO FORK OUT HIS PENNY, AND POCKET YOUR SHILLING.
Subject(s): COMMUNISM;
What is a communist? One who hath yearnings
For equal division of unequal earnings:
Idler, or bungler, or both, he is willing
To fork out his penny, and pocket your shilling.
