Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke" by C. J. Dennis is a verse novel published in 1915. Written in rough Australian slang, it tells the story of Bill, a larrikin gang member in Melbourne's red-light district, who falls for Doreen, a young woman with social aspirations. Through poems narrated by Bill himself, the work chronicles their courtship and marriage, tracing his transformation from a violence-prone street tough to a devoted husband and father. It became Australia's best-selling poetry book ever.
