And restless and lost on a road that I know."

The Moods of Ginger Mick
"Ginger Mick's bin at the races, an' 'e'd made a little rise, '
Avin' knowed a bloke wot knowed the trainer's cook.
An' easy money's very sweet, as punters reckernise,
An' sweetest when yeh've prized it orf a "book."
So Ginger calls fer Rosie, an' to celerbrate 'is win
'E trots 'er down to Ah Foo's joint to splash a bit uv tin".

The Facts

Facts are stubborn things but statistics are more pliable.
