Then I took to readin’ lectures,
And after that to paintin’ pictures.
Next as drummer I did chaffer,
And then I worked as photográpher.
Then for a while I run a dairy,
And next I turned apothecäry.
Then stuck pla-cards as a billist,
And so became a patent pill-ist.
Finding all other trades deceiving,
For a time I took to thieving.
