Explore "The Reverend Mullineux" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I'd reckon his weight at eight-stun-eight, / And his height at five-foot-two, / With a face as plain as an eight-day clock / And a walk as brisk as a bantam-cock -- / Game as a bantam, too, / Hard and wiry and full of steam, / That's the boss of the English Team, / Reverend Mullineux.
Makes no row when the game gets rough -- / None of your "Strike me blue!" / "You's wants smacking across the snout!" / Plays like a gentleman out-and-out -- / Same as he ought to do. / "Kindly remove from off my face!" / That's the way that he states his case -- / Reverend Mullineux.
