Then Romeo, 'e dunno wot to do. The cops gits busy, like they allwiz do, An' nose around until 'e gits blue funk An' does a bunk. They wants 'is tart to wed some other guy. "Ah, strike!" she sez. "I wish that I could die!" Now, this 'ere gorspil bloke's a fair shrewd 'ead. Sez 'e "I'll dope yeh, so they'll THINK yer dead." (I tips 'e was a cunnin' sort, wot knoo A thing or two.) She takes 'is knock-out drops, up in 'er room: They think she's snuffed, an' plant 'er in 'er tomb. Then things gits mixed a treat an' starts to whirl. 'Ere's Romeo comes back an' finds 'is girl Tucked in 'er little coffing, cold an' stiff, An' in a jiff, 'E swallows lysol, throws a fancy fit, 'Ead over turkey, an' 'is soul 'as flit. Then Juli-et wakes up an' sees 'im there, Turns on the water-works an' tears 'er 'air, "Dear love," she sez, "I cannot live alone!" An' wiv a moan, She grabs 'is pockit knife, an' ends 'er cares... _"Peanuts or lollies!_" sez a boy upstairs. |
