Every two years the Comic Greats performto support all the little Violetsto encourage us to empty pocketsto save a life tonight. To support all the little Violetsto grow in health instead of mounds of earth,to save a life tonightwe need to slay the dragon of poverty. To grow in health instead of mounds of earthto chase away the stench of deathwe need to slay the dragon of povertyso no child works the rubbish dumps. To chase away the stench of deathwe buy red noses, laugh and cryso no child works the rubbish dumpswe wear red roses, laugh and cry. © Sheila Ash 15thMarch 2015APantoumis a verse form with the structureStanza 1 A B C D, Stanza 2 B E D F, Stanza 3 E G F H, Stanza 4 G I (or A or C) H J (or A or C)ashramblings
