English poem
Iv
by John Stephen Farmer (1854–1916)
Ev'ry evenin' on the stroke of five, Me and Missus takes a little drive, You'd say, "Wonderful they're still alive," If you saw that little donkey go. I soon showed him that 'e 'd have to do, Just whatever he was wanted to, Still I shan't forget that rowdy crew, 'Ollerin' "Woa! steady! Neddy Woa! "Wot cher!" &c.
[1: well-dressed man] [2: man] [3: hat] [4: died; mistake] [5: made them stare] [6: donkey] [7: fellow] [8: no mistake] [9: wife; make a show]
