Explore "Turkey (the Baby's Baedeker)" by Harry Graham on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The Sultan of the Purple East / Is quite a cynic, in his way, / And really doesn't mind the least / His nickname of 'Abdul the -- -- ' (Nay! / I might perhaps come in for blame / If I divulged this monarch's name.)
The Turk is such a kindly man, / But his ideas of sport are crude; / He to the poor Armenian / Is not intentionally rude, / But still it is his heartless habit / To treat him as _we_ treat the rabbit.
