Who never drinks and never bets, <br />But loves his wife and pays his debts <br />And feels content with what he gets? <br />Tom Collins. <br /> <br />Who has the utmost confidence <br />That all the banks now in suspense <br />Will meet their paper three years hence? <br />Tom Collins. <br /> <br />Who reads the Herald leaders through, <br />And takes the Evening News for true, <br />And thought the Echo's jokes were new? <br />Tom Collins. <br /> <br />Who is the patriot renowned <br />So very opportunely found <br />To fork up Dibbs's thousand pound? <br />Tom Collins.<br /><br />Andrew Barton Paterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tom-collins/
