English poem
John Drew
by Oliver Herford (1863–1935)
For Perfect Form there are but few That can compare with Mr. Drew; A Form most fittingly displayed In r'les from London, tailor-made By Messrs. Maughn, Pinero, Jones, In quiet, gentlemanly tones. The Nouveaux-Riches flock, day by day, To learn from John how to display (Without unnecessary gloom) The manners of the drawing-room. This possibly may be the cause (Or one of them) why John Drew draws.
