"A fool there was and he made his prayer
(Even as you and I!)
To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair
(We called her the woman who did not care),
But the fool he called her his lady fair
(Even as you and I!)

Oh the years we waste and the tears we waste
And the work of our head and hand,
Belong to  the woman who did not know
(And now we know she could never know)
And did not understand."


With apt applicability it's entitled "The Vampire"

Good old Kipples!
Sadly neglected, but it seems his verse is  making a come-back.
So far as I'm concerned it's never been away.

Kneasy sniffs the gin bottle and rolls another gasper.
