"La Directeur" By T.S Eliot - English Translation

I was reading a book of poems by T.S Eliot and came across the poem "La Directeur" a poem written in French, and, out of curiosity, decided to translate it into English.
Having finished my translation, I decided to post it here.
Why?
"If you build it they will come...by that I mean accidentally find your link on google" (That's how the line was scripted, but the last part was edited out after filming, true story.)

                                                                  The Director 
                                                    by
                                                   T.S Eliot 
                                                                         (translated into English.)

                                                                          The Director

 Misfortune at 
The unhappy Thames
That beats its breast
So near (to the) audience
The Director
The Conservative
The audience 
Smells of the breeze
The Shareholders
Reactionaries
The audience 
The Conservative
 Arm on arm
        Makes rounds
   No wolf
         In a sewer
    A small girl
   In rags
   Comrade
    The Director
        The audience
            The conservative
                 And craving love.
