Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Tale of Fraunces' Tavern A. D. 1765: And Other Poems
The Lob Scouse Boy stood on the after poop With fingers deeply in a bowl of soup.
The Captain called him but he would not go Because he did enjoy the lob scouse so.
The contents of the bowl was very nice And so he licked his fingers over twice. The Captain called again ahoy, ahoy, Bring me my soup, where is that Lob Scouse Boy.
The boy now brings the bowl of boiling broth, The wandering Demons leap about the froth.
Black Witch craft skips upon the fins of night. The Captain groans beneath a dreadful blight.
