"WHY do they do it? I dunno," / Sez Digger Smith. "Yeh got me beat. / Some uv the yarns yeh 'ear is true, / An' some is rather umptydoo, / An' some is -- indiscreet. / But them that don't get to the crowd, / Them is the ones would make yeh proud."
With Digger Smith an' other blokes / 'Oo 'ave returned it's much the same / They'll talk uv wot they've seen an' done / When they've been out to 'ave their fun; / But no word uv the game. / On fights an' all the tale uv blood / Their talk, as they remark, is dud.
