The Land of Lost Content (a Parody)

Below is my parody of Housman’s poem “The Land of Lost Content”. You can find a link to the original public domain poem at the end of my parody.

Into my heart an air that thrills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered thrills,
What squires, what housemaids are those?

That is the land of Squire Kent,
I see him with Jane,
The happy housemaid where he went.
I had better not explain!
