There was a cheerful old tramp in the Bronx,
Who thought all other vagrants were twonks*,
Finding them stupid and smelly,
And friendly? Not on your nelly,
He’d rather give his head a couple of bonks!
*Derogitary term, roughly equivalent to idiot. More insulting than berk, but less insulting that gimp.
Thought to originate in the Victorian Era meaning a lower-class foreigner
Well I will admit to seeing a few cheerful tramps in the Bronx but I always thought it was the wine,,,,,,,,oh, those were wino’s and not tramps, I guess the only tramps I have seen were down by the railroad tracks when I was young and riding the rails myself.
And was that fun William? I imagine to do so?’
