While reading this (mostly) 19th century literature joke thread, I tried to think about what kind of a joke Stephen Crane would write, since I have a lecture on his work next week, but his joke about bars would probably be super grim so...

Once upon an eve of drinking
As I worked the bar, with clinking
Jugs of ale, yet ever thinking
Of the men from foreign shore,
Suddenly I heard some talk
With accents London, Dundee, Cork
Had they pursued me to New York??
Quoth the English, "three pints more"
