The conq'rin' 'ero! Me? Yes, I don't think. / This mornin' when I catch the train fer 'ome, / It's far more like a walloped pup I slink / To kennel, with resolves no more to roam. / Crusades is orf. I'm fer the simple life, / 'Ome with me trustin' wife / All safe frum strife.
I've read uv knights returnin' full uv gyp, / Back to the bewchus lady in the tower. / They never seemed to git dumestic pip / In them brave days when knighthood was in flower. / But times is changed; an' 'usbands 'as to leed; / Fer knight'ood's run to seed; / It 'as indeed.
