No more than most of us to-day;

I runs a business with a pal

(Meaning the Missis) Fulham way;

Greengrocery—the cabbages

And fruit and things I take meself,

And she has daffs and crocuses

A-smiling on a shelf.

"Blighty," I thinks. The doctor knows;

'E talks of punctured damn-the-things.

It's me for Blighty. Down I goes;
