Work rating: Low


I never saw a face so bright     With brilliant blood and joy, As was the grinning mug last night     Of Dick, our local boy, When with a clumsy, lucky clout     He knocked the champion out. A week ago he swung a pick     And sweated in a ditch. Tonight he`s togged up mighty slick,     And fancies himself rich. With floozies, fine food, bubbly drink     He`ll go to hell I think. Unless they make another match;     And if they do I guess The champion won`t have a scratch,     But Dick will be a mess; His map will be a muck of gore     As he sprawls on the floor. Then he`ll go back his pick to swing,     And sweat deep in the mud . . . Yet still I see him in the ring,     So gay with glee and blood, Dancing a jig and holding high     His gloves to climb the sky.
