Some vast amount of years ago	A
Ere all my youth had vanished from me	B
A boy it was my lot to know	A
Whom his familiar friends called Tommy	B
	-
I love to gaze upon a child	C
A young bud bursting into blossom	D
Artless as Eve yet unbeguiled	C
And agile as a young opossum	D
	-
And such was he A calm browed lad	C
Yet mad at moments as a hatter	E
Why hatters as a race are mad	C
I never knew nor does it matter	E
	-
He was what nurses call a 'limb '	-
One of those small misguided creatures	F
Who though their intellects are dim	G
Are one too many for their teachers	F
	-
And if you asked of him to say	H
What twice was or times	I
He'd glance in quite a placid way	H
From heaven to earth from earth to heaven	J
	-
And smile and look politely round	C
To catch a casual suggestion	J
But make no effort to propound	C
Any solution of the question	J
	-
And so not much esteemed was he	B
Of the authorities and therefore	K
He fraternized by chance with me	B
Needing a somebody to care for	K
	-
And three fair summers did we twain	L
Live as they say and love together	E
And bore by turns the wholesome cane	L
Till our young skins became as leather	E
	-
And carved our names on every desk	M
And tore our clothes and inked our collars	F
And looked unique and picturesque	N
But not it may be model scholars	F
	-
We did much as we chose to do	C
We'd never heard of Mrs Grundy	B
All the theology we knew	C
Was that we mightn't play on Sunday	H
	-
And all the general truths that cakes	O
Were to be bought at four a penny	B
And that excruciating aches	O
Resulted if we ate too many	B
	-
And seeing ignorance is bliss	P
And wisdom consequently folly	B
The obvious result is this	P
That our two lives were very jolly	B
	-
At last the separation came	Q
Real love at that time was the fashion	J
And by a horrid chance the same	Q
Young thing was to us both a passion	J
	-
Old POSER snorted like a horse	R
His feet were large his hands were pimply	B
His manner when excited coarse	R
But Miss P was an angel simply	B
	-
She was a blushing gushing thing	S
All more than all my fancy painted	C
Once when she helped me to a wing	S
Of goose I thought I should have fainted	C
	-
The people said that she was blue	B
But I was green and loved her dearly	B
She was approaching thirty two	B
And I was then eleven nearly	B
	-
I did not love as others do	B
None ever did that I've heard tell of	T
My passion was a byword through	B
The town she was of course the belle of	T
	-
Oh sweet as to the toilworn man	U
The far off sound of rippling river	E
As to cadets in Hindostan	U
The fleeting remnant of their liver	E
	-
To me was ANNA dear as gold	C
That fills the miser's sunless coffers	F
As to the spinster growing old	C
The thought the dream that she had offers	F
	-
I'd sent her little gifts of fruit	C
I'd written lines to her as Venus	V
I'd sworn unflinchingly to shoot	C
The man who dared to come between us	V
	-
And it was you my Thomas you	B
The friend in whom my soul confided	C
Who dared to gaze on her to do	B
I may say much the same as I did	C
	-
One night I SAW him squeeze her hand	C
There was no doubt about the matter	E
I said he must resign or stand	C
My vengeance and he chose the latter	E
	-
We met we 'planted' blows on blows	W
We fought as long as we were able	B
My rival had a bottle nose	W
And both my speaking eyes were sable	B
	-
When the school bell cut short our strife	X
Miss P gave both of us a plaster	E
And in a week became the wife	X
Of Horace Nibbs the writing master	E
	-
	-
	-
I loved her then I'd love her still	B
Only one must not love Another's	F
But thou and I my Tommy will	B
When we again meet meet as brothers	F
	-
It may be that in age one seeks	Y
Peace only that the blood is brisker	E
In boy's veins than in theirs whose cheeks	Y
Are partially obscured by whisker	E
	-
Or that the growing ages steal	B
The memories of past wrongs from us	V
But this is certain that I feel	B
Most friendly unto thee oh Thomas	V
	-
And wheresoe'er we meet again	U
On this or that side the equator	E
If I've not turned teetotaller then	U
And have wherewith to pay the waiter	E
	-
To thee I'll drain the modest cup	Z
Ignite with thee the mild Havannah	U
And we will waft while liquoring up	Z
Forgiveness to the heartless ANNA	U
