Dirty Father Thames

Dirty Father Thames stands in the river water hooking detritus and rubbish that's floating there: old shoes and boots, dead fish, bottles, dead mice and rats... The cartoon is accompanied by a poem which begins, Filthy river, filthy river, Foul from London to the Nore, What art thou but one vast gutter, One tremendous common shore?
