Robert Graves - The Three DrinkersRobert Graves - The Three Drinkers
Work rating: Low


Blacksmith Green had three strong sons,   With bread and beef did fill `em, Now John and Ned are perished and dead,   But plenty remains of William. John Green was a whiskey drinker,   The Land of Cakes supplied him, Till at last his soul flew out by the hole   That the fierce drink burned inside him. Ned Green was a water drinker,   And, Lord, how Ned would fuddle! He rotted away his mortal clay   Like an old boot thrown in a puddle. Will Green was a wise young drinker,   Shrank from whiskey or water, But he made good cheer with headstrong beer,   And married an alderman`s daughter.
