“Look after your ’ealth,”
his Momma did say,
“Look after your ’ealth,
’n keep away
from draughts ’n germs,
and stress ’n strain,
– and use an umbrellar in the rain!”
“Look after your ’appiness,
Charlie, me lad,
look after your ’appiness,
’n don’t be bad,
’cos bad makes sad,
don’t be a cad,
then Oi will stop fretting,
– but, Charlie, no betting!
– that ‘wealth’ spoils yer ’ealth,
’nd won’t make you ’appy,
so don’t you get lazy,
work hard ’n keep busy,
no time left for strayin’
– your Momma’ll be prayin’:
Oh, Charlie, me lad,
make your Momma real glad!”

Such an original take on the I.P. Rhiannon. 'Ealth' and 'Appiness' I like that, very much, and you kept up the accent all the way through;-) A difficult thing to do but you pulled it off, admirably.
