English poem
I
by John Stephen Farmer (1854–1916)
Joe sold his sand, and cly'd his cole, sir, While Bess got a basket of rags, Then up to St. Giles's they roll'd, sir, To every bunter Bess brags: Then into a booze-ken they pike it, Where Bess was admitted we hear; For none of the coves dare but like it, As Joey, her kiddy, was there.
