Snatched a little sleep till daylight.
All the day they lay and simmered,
Stuck a blanket up for shelter,
Spent the sultry morning thinking
Of the things they would have given
For a long sweet draught of cold beer,
Bass or Worthington or Allsopp,
In a long cool lager beer mug.
Sighed, and drank some tepid water,
Ate some squishy-squashy bully,
