HIS FATHER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I quite forgot to put the spigot in
Last Line: Before he gets me told about that beer!


I quite forgot to put the spigot in.
It's just come over me.... And it is queer
To think he'll not care if we lose or win
And yet be jumping-mad about that beer.

I left it running full. He must have said
A thing or two. I'd give my stripes to hear
What he will say if I'm reported dead
Before he gets me told about that beer!
