Robert W Service - Slugging SaintRobert W Service - Slugging Saint
Work rating: Low


`Twas in a pub in Battersea      They call the "Rose and Crown," Quite suddenly, it seemed to me,      The Lord was looking down; The Lord was looking from above,      And shiny was His face, And I was filled with gush of love      For all the human race.       Anon I saw three ancient men      Who reckoned not of bliss, And they looked quite astonished when      I gave them each a kiss. I kissed each on his balding spot      With heart of Heaven grace . . . And then it seemed there was a lot      Of trouble round the place. They had me up before the beak,      But though I told my tale, He sentanced me to spend a week      In Yard of Scotland Gaol. So when they kindly set me free      Please don`t think it amiss, If Battling Bill of Battersea,      For love of all humanity               Gives you a kiss.
