Robert W Service - FlorrieRobert W Service - Florrie
Work rating: Low


Because I was a wonton wild     And welcomed many a lover, Who is the father of my child     I wish I could discover. For though I know it is not right     In tender arms to tarry, A barmaid has to be polite     To Tom and Dick and Harry. My truest love was Poacher Jim:     I wish my babe was his`n. Yet I can`t father it on him     Because he was in prison. As uniforms I like, I had     A soldier and a sailor; Then there was Pete the painter lad,     And Timothy the tailor. Though virtue hurt you vice ain`t nice;     They say to err is human; Alas! one pays a bitter price,     It`s hell to be a woman. Oh dear! Why was I born a lass     Who hated to say: No, sir. I`d better in my sorry pass     Blame Mister Simms, the grocer.
