He Loved Living in his Own World
He dearly loved his daily walk
It was his only exercise;
Nothing ever felt better
Than pumping those twin thighs!
He always had a fancy dribble cup
Swinging from his bewhiskered chin;
He would walk and he would spit
Then take a satisfying swig of gin!
His pitter-patter would proceed
As he pounded the hard pavement;
He loved living in his own world
As he spit a big gob as he went!
