An' when I get 'em sorted out, An' strafe that little bogey, Doubt, I'll start me life all new. Oh, I ain't crook; but packed in 'ere Is thoughts: enough to last a year. "I'm thinkin' things," sez Digger Smith. "I'm thinkin' big an' fine Uv Life an' Love an' all the rest, An' wot is right an' wot is best, An' 'ow much will be mine. Not that I'm wantin' overmuch Some work, some play, an' food an' such." "See 'ere," I sez. "You 'ark to me. I've done some thinkin' too. An' this 'ere land, for wot yeh did, Owes some few million solid quid To fightin' blokes like you. So don't be too dam modest or Yeh'll git less than yeh're lookin' for." "Money?" sez Digger. "Loot?" sez 'e "Aw, give that talk a rest! I'm sick uv it. I didn't say That I was thinkin' all uv pay, But wot was right an' best. An' that ain't in the crazy game Uv grabbin' wealth an' chasin' fame. |
