Edward Dyson - BillJimEdward Dyson - BillJim
Work rating: Low


Down to it is Plugger Bill, Lyin` crumpled, white `n` still.     Me `n` him Chips in when the scrap begins, Carin` nothin` for our skins, Chi-iked as the `Eavenly Twins-     Bill `n` Jim. They `ave outed Bill at last, Slugged me cobber hard `n` fast.     It`s a kill. See the purple of his lip `N` the red `n` oozy drip! Ends our great ole partnership-     Jim `n` Bill Mates we was when we was kids; Camp, `n` ship, `n` Pyramids,     Him `n` me Hung together, `n` we tore Up the heights from Helles shore, Bill a long `arf head afore,     Fine to see! Then it was we took a touch- Simple puncture, nothin` much;     But we lay `N` we stays the count, it seems, In a sorter realm of dreams Where the sun infernal gleams     Night `n` day; Boilin`, fryin` achin`, dumb, Waitin` till the stretchers come,     Patiently. I hangs on to `arf a cup. Which I wants ole Bill to sup. Damn if he ain`t savin` up     His for me! When they come to lift my head I am softly kiddin` dead,     For a game, So`s they`ll first take on his gills. Over, though, me scheme he spills- Bli`me, this ole take-down Bill`s     Done the same! But he isn`t kiddin` now, And it knocks me anyhow     Seein` him. We was both agreed before, Though it got `em by the score, Two was goin` to beat this war-     But `n` Jim. Mate o` mine, yiv stayed it through. Hard luck, Bill-for me `n` you     Hard `n` grim. They have got me Cobber true, But I`m stickin` tight ez glue…. Bill, there`s one who`ll plug for two-     It is Jim!
