The Ballad of Lenin’s Tomb

Well, I don’t care a damn:
I tell you this: their Lenin is a waxen, show-case SHAM.

Out of Lurk Mode for a moment -

Where Lenin lies the red flag flies, and the rat-grey workers wait
To tread the gloom of Lenin's Tomb, where the Comrade lies in state.

Work that one through your mouth and savor it. Four uses of alliteration in a single line (I'm counting "rat-grey"). And every word is perfect. Brilliant.
