And since I’m well and on the bum again & aint got nothing else to
do, but roam, longfaced, the real America, with my unreal heart, here I
am eager and ready to be a big busted nose scullion or dishwasher on the
old scoff scow s’long as I can buy my next fancy shirt in a Hong Kong
haberdashery or wave a polo mallet in some old Singapore bar or play the
horses in Australian, it’s all the same to me as long as it can be
exciting and goes around the world.
