“INSTEAD OF SITTING WRAPPED UP IN FLANNEL”
Instead of sitting wrapped up in flannelWith rheumatism in every joint,
I wish I was in the English Channel,
Just going round the Lizard Point,
All southward bound, with the seas before me,
I should not care whether smooth or rough,
For then no visitors would call to bore me,
Of whose “good-mornings” I have had enough.
