C J Dennis - The Deadly Dummy
Work rating: Low

"It`s the dummy wot done it," said Bleary Bill.
"As a child I was out o` luck.
A kid in me pram, that`s wot I am
When they gimme the thing to suck.
An` I took to it good, for I like the taste;
With never a thought of a life laid waste.

Then I took to nippin` upon the sly,
Or avin` a suck with a friend,
Tho` a neighbourin` kid warned me, `e did,
It would  get me, sure, in the end.
An` git me it did, as you see today.
In a most insidius an` `orrible way.

I know as me `abits is not the best.
An` I know as the beer`s a curse;
But don`t blame me, for me choice weren`t free,
An` the blame of it`s all on nurse.
So, please, yer Honor, don`t make it `ot,
An` I`ll swear off dummies right on the spot."
