"The flamin' cows! " 'e ses; 'e did, an' worse; / 'Twas 'orrible the langwidge that 'e used. / It made me blood run cold to 'ear 'im curse; / An' me that taken-back-like an' confused; / W'ile them poor beasts 'e belted an' abused. / "They couldn't shift," 'e ses, "a blanky 'earse! / The flamin' cows!"
"The flamin' cows! " You oughter 'eard 'im curse. / You would a bin that shocked. An' the idear! / 'Im usin' such remarks about a 'earse; / An' 'is own brother buried not a year. / "Not move a blanky 'earee! " 'e ses. My dear, / You 'ardly could imagine langwidge worse. / "The flamin' cows!"
