At the Back of the North Wind

CHAPTER XVIII
8/13

Baby's daddy would never hit baby's mammy if he didn't take too much beer.

He's very fond of baby's mammy, and works from morning to night to get her breakfast and dinner and supper, only at night he forgets, and pays the money away for beer.

And they put nasty stuff in beer, I've heard my daddy say, that drives all the good out, and lets all the bad in.

Daddy says when a man takes a drink, there's a thirsty devil creeps into his inside, because he knows he will always get enough there.

And the devil is always crying out for more drink, and that makes the man thirsty, and so he drinks more and more, till he kills himself with it.
