Versicals Poems

A Proposition

The butcher said to the dairy maid
Please miss, are you willin?
Oh! said she, woe is me
I’m still with milk a fillin’

Ah ! said he, unto she
Maybe we can later
Oh! said she, unto he
I’ll ask my Ma and Pater

They won’t refuse me just a walk
Of that, there’s no mistakin
So long as you bring a leg of pork
And some streaky bacon.
