Here he goes with broken nose,

Battered face, sad grimace,

Chairs he crashes, crockery smashes,

Wife he thrashes, children lashes,

Passions deadly, such a medley.

Sighing, crying, snoring, roaring,

Groaning, moaning, sleeping, weeping.

Screaming, dreaming, screeching, retching

All the night, till morning light;

Then on waking, head is aching,
