 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

The Unknown Wealthy Of London Town

By Terrence michael Sutton, www.PoetryPoem.com/aussiepoet    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime



Long long ago in london town so many then they wore a frown
Others loved it away back when feathers were used as a pen..
In the days of many a dock side Inn rum was plenty and no sin
Many a woman knew the way taking the money  of a sailors pay..

Often then the wealthy they dropped in dressed as sailors too
Enjoying the wenches company and as well a good rum or two..
Grandest times had by all until some found a blue blood to call
Flashing their money around the best winches thus then a brawl..

After more than a rum or two forgetting the sailors lingo true
But alas the winches back then long before this they all knew..
They'd hurry the drunk wealthy to a high room upstairs above
And make sure the could be victims of way more than just love..

One winch was in charge of the rest making sure she got the best
Along with one or two trusted winches to bury his face in breast..
The rum flowed plenty a runner made sure of no lack of supply
While they loved him so washed his clothes hang them to dry..

The charge winch never did thing taking all money watch and ring
Before dawn a coach to call home James invited back was the thing..
by dawn the drunk sailors down below never had a clue not to know
After such a grandest time not too long and back then later to go..



The wealthy back then relieving strife and away from a barren wife
Was a wonderful way for winches to survive making money stay alive..
But way more than believed babies had dock side blue blood all through
And their barren as if grand mothers back then never had a single clue..
