Or do one single chore; I Jes' et 'round an' talk for hours To the boy wot lives next door. An', say, he's got tha finest knife; It Jes' cut wood like cheese. He can whittle out a gun or boat, . Or anything he sees. He's told me most a million things I never knowed before. Oh. he's a entertalnln' chap. That boy wot lives next door. He ses girls like the manly boys Not dressed-up kids with curls. Boys wot ain't afeard to fight Is the kind wot please the girls. Ses they like to be perfected ; An' he knows girls' ways for shore, He's a mighty knowin' chap. That boy wot lives next door: He's druv off piles o' burglars. Spect he killed one Mother night He can lick a thousand pirates. And he don't fear be.irs a mite. He's seen spooks an' all tilch things A million times or more. Oh, he's a lnterestin' chap. That boy wot lives next door. -Arthur Ren wick O'Hara In ToiUk. . |
