Orwell And Brother Irving

Orwell and Brother Irving
Two trenchant Englishmen
Are famous for observing
The who, why, where and when
They’re everywhere debated
Read and fêted where they’re found
They’re flying Dutchmen dated
To that preface gone to ground
Their books a fictive status receive
To influence present thoughts wrongly
Their words are dressed in lies to deceive
To negate yesterday’s truth strongly
