A poem by Jonathan Swift

The Dean's Manner Of Living

________________________________________________
Title:     The Dean's Manner Of Living
Author: Jonathan Swift [More Titles by Swift]

On rainy days alone I dine
Upon a chick and pint of wine.
On rainy days I dine alone,
And pick my chicken to the bone;
But this my servants much enrages,
No scraps remain to save board-wages.
In weather fine I nothing spend,
But often spunge upon a friend;
Yet, where he's not so rich as I,
I pay my club, and so good b'ye.






[The end]
