C J Dennis - The Milk Billy
Work rating: Low

So nice it is of you to call . . . 
   Yes; Monday week we done it;
Right `igh-clarse weddin` -- church an` all.
   Cost Bill a bit to run it.
An` wotjer think `e ups and sez
   First night, or thereabout?
"Hey, Lil!"  (Lor, it give me sich a thrill),
   "Didjer think to put the milk-billy out?"

`Im!  Thinkin` of the milk like that.
   Show`s `e`s domesticated.
`Er?  She`s no right to tork, the cat!
   Although they are related.
It shows my Bill ain`t like she sez:
   A harum-scarum lout.
"Hey, Lil?"  "Wot`s yer troubles, Bill?"
   "Didjer think to put the milk-billy out?"

Sounds funny, comin` like from `im,
   A lover so `igh mettled.
Show`s a wife`s chances ain`t too slim;
   Seems like `e`s gittin` settled.
S`pose every girl must fret a bit;
   But them words stills me doubt:
"Hey, Lil?"  "Well?  Wot`s up, ole sill`?"
   "Don`t fergit to put the milk-billy out."

Well, `owja think me parler seems?
   Them chairs?  `E `elped me choose `em . . . 
S`pose all young wives must `ave their dreams,
   Gawd!  I don`t wanta lose `em . . . 
Real `omey, ain`t it? . . . All I `ope`s
   When we are old an` stout
I`ll `ear him at it still:  "Hey, Lil! 
   Didjer think to put the milk-billy out?"
