Analysis of Old Black Jacko
Clarence Michael James Stanislaus Dennis 1876 (Auburn) – 1938 (Melbourne)
Old Black Jacko
Smokes tobacco
In his little pipe of clay.
Puff, puff, puff,
He never has enough
Though he smokes it all day.
But his lubra says, "Mine tink dat Jacky
Him shmoke plenty too much baccy."
