"I WASH me 'ands uv 'im," I tells 'em, straight. / "You women can do wot yeh dash well like. / I leave this 'arf a man to 'is own fate; / I've done me bit, an' now I'm gone on strike. / Do wot yeh please; but don't arsk 'elp from me; / 'E's give me nerves; so now I'll let 'im be."
Doreen an' ole Mar Flood 'as got a scheme. / They've been conspirin' for a week or more / About this Digger Smith, an' now they dream / They've got 'is fucher waitin' in cool store / To 'and 'im out, an' fix 'im up for life. / But they've got Buckley's, as I tells me wife.
