From the way he stravaged, I knew it was John the Savage,
who had been brought to London and left free to roam,
far from his warm and tropical home.
Just as in Brave New World, for him,
this world was hardly a pearl -
Our conceited pomposity has
imprisoned him in our unfair city.
Unable to return over there he finds solace in the outside air:
Dreaming, planning his final escape,
I hope his is not a grizzly fate.
