GOOD BOY I have led a good life, full of peace and quiet I shall have an old age, full of rum and riot. I have been a good boy, wed to work and study I shall be an old man, ribald coarse and bloody. I have never slit throats, even when I yearned to. Never sang dirty songs that my fancy turned to. I have been a nice boy, and done what was expected I shall die and old bum, loved but unrespected.
