English poem
I
by John Stephen Farmer (1854–1916)
Though all of us have heard of crost fights, And certain gains, by certain lost fights; I rather fancies that its news, How in a mill, both men should lose; For vere the odds are thus made even, It plays the dickens with the steven: Besides, against all rule they're sinning, Vere neither has no chance of vinning. Ri, tol, lol, etc.
