You could 'a' outed me right on the spot:
I wus so rattled when that porter spoke.
Fer, 'Struth! them tickets I 'ad fair forgot!
But 'e jist laughs, an' takes it fer a joke.
"We must ixcuse," 'e sez, "new-married folk."
An' I pays up, an' grins, an' blushes red.…
It shows 'ow married life improves a bloke:
If I'd bin single I'd 'a' punched 'is 'ead!
