Bert ~

Indeed, salt of the 'earf he was, like a whisper from a kitten he was, like licking a stamp he was, like drinking eggnog from a glass slipper he was, a true gent he was, he was the best of 'em, could hold his own he could, like a fish wife he was, a grasping bleeder he was, a sandy little cockamooch he was, walked the distance he did, liked the road he did, was a jumping arse he was, a fighting man's slagger he was, like a diamond in an alsatian's vagina he was, a dribbler, a whacked out drunken shit bag of a man he was, loved the rope he did, didn't mind tying the lace he didn't, he walked like two men he did, he was always several inches too short he was, like a stallion's gooch he was, a ribbed nightmare to the unbeliever he was, several sheets cut to the wind he was, a box of elbows he was, the best of 'em, always had a finger for a man, always had a slight leer on a wednesday he did...old Bert.
