When Susy makes the duff!
[172]
]A DRUNK’S DEFIANCE.
I would like to offer this word or two
In a straight and a manly way,
From the deadhead’s room, where a light shines through
With a dimmed and a sickly ray:
There are some folk born with a lucky caul,
And a hobby to ride at will,
While for others—it isn’t the Lord at all,
But the Devil, who drives the mill.
