William Ernest Henley - London Types: `LizaWilliam Ernest Henley - London Types: `Liza
Work rating: Low


`Liza`s old man`s perhaps a little shady, `Liza`s old woman`s prone to booze and cring; But `Liza deems herself a perfect lady, And proves it in her feathers and her fringe. For `Liza has a bloke her heart to cheer, With pearlies and a barrer and a jack, So all the vegetables of the year Are duly represented on her back. Her boots are sacrifices to her hats, Which knock you speechless—like a load of bricks! Her summer velvets dazzle Wanstead Flats, And cost, at times, a good eighteen-and-six. Withal, outside the gay and giddy whirl, `Liza`s a stupid, straight, hard-working girl.
