JUSTICE

There was a land, which I suppose, 

Where everyone had a crooked nose;

And the crooked nose that everyone had 

In no manner did make him sad.

But in that land a man was born 

Whose nose more straight and clean was worn;

And the men of that land with a public hate 

Killed the man whose nose was straight.
