  This mud + slime

  Though we get sore in it

  Grumble + roar in it

  We'll win the war in it

  In our good time!

  "Dad's Letters"

  
  

  My dad ain't just the letter writin' kind -

  He's rather let the women see to that;

  He's got a mess o' troubles on his mind,

  And likes to keep 'em underneath his hat.

  
  

  And p'raps because he isn't very strong

  On  talking', why he's kind o' weak on ink

  But he  can/cant  work like in the whole year long

  And, crickey, now that dad o' mine can think.

  
  

  When I set out from Oldham last July

  He didn't bawl the way my old friend did.

  He just shook hands + says "Girlie good-bye"

  (He's got his feelin's, but he keeps 'em hid)
