Demian Byedny, described as the "Russian Poet Laureate," has written a satire on Lloyd George:
Oh! if you know, Dear Mr. how we miss you all!
Your successors, who now rule England in your place,
Are so beastly clever and cute
That really I dare not write to them.
What a pity that you have retired.
It was always so easy to deal with you.
Every step of yours was so easy to see through.
But Curzonâtry to argue or negotiate with him!
No one knows what he has in his mind or up his sleeve . . .
You, dear friend, were always so...
