THE SLACKER CHAPPIE
A gay chappie-boy went out to flirt
(A fie-for-sliaine and two clucks
of the tongue!)
With a strawberry blonde in a pur
ple skirt—
Quite shocking, of course, but
youth is so young.
Then the cruel conscription law
threatened the chap.
(and oh-dear-m* and a pair pf
a lasses!)
But the brave purple skirt saved the
chap from the scrap—
In short, they were wed! Thus the
danger point passes!
And now, far away from war’s rude
alarm,
(A piffle, a tush and a number of
pishes!)
The strawberry blonde does the work
on a farm.
And the chap does his bit, too—
he washes the dishes!)
