Well, if Albert won't leave you alone, there it is, me said, What you get married for if you don't want children?
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME Well, that Sunday Albert was home, they had a hot gammon,
And they asked I in to dinner, to get the beauty of it hot—
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME
Goonight Bill. Goonight Lou. Goonight May. Goonight.
Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight.
Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night.

One reader writes:
I like Prufrock better but I like anything Eliot (even Eliot himself, with
all his low lifey foibles). Why does he say Hurry up please it's time, I
wonder, capital letters, repeated several times? I'm tempted to think
he's playing around, in a sophisticated setting (the poem, not the pub). Any ideas?
