Tubercular Ale and Syphilitic Dogs
Page 2
it would be
a great pleasure
guinness gertie

is fed up
of dusting
my brass knuckles

that really will not do
replied mcguire
you know me

for a non-violent
saintly old party
he smiled

with ineffable sweetness
and effable
cunning

hamsters
returned
in droves

no, he continued,
i will fight
fire with fire

and may
the drier matches
win

should you hear
rumours about peregrine
and the syphilitic dog

belonging to the bouncer
at the gutshot club
you may guess

their origin
and now please open
another bottle

of the tubercular amber
and we will drink to
the love of animals
