Today’s Cryptogram

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

About 2 min. Don’t get fooled by last word - BIKB.
It Panned out for me.
Had to look up the first initial of the author, though.
Like ‘they’ say,
Work is the curse of the drinking class......
under 2 minutes.
Focused on the double letters which opened the last word. The rest became obvious :)
Just looking at it, the fifth word and the last word solve it, I believe.
Lord, I am so tired
How long can this go on?
Well, I been working in a coal mine
Going down, down
Working in a coal mine
Whew, about to slip down
Working in a coal mine
Going down, down
Working in a coal mine
Whew, about to slip down
Five o’clock in the morning
I’m up before the sun
When my work day is over
I’m too tired for having fun
First thing I did was get fooled by the last word. LOL!
Should have immediately rejected it because of the fifth word, though.
Very quick. Would have been quicker if I had the faintest knowledge of the author...
Ditto
I showed you his picture. What else do you want? Are you saying it wasn’t obvious?
Didn’t you read post #3?
So did I.
I had no idea who it was a picture of. Tesla? Marx with a shave? Young Dr. Frankenstein?
About 5 minutes. Got the last word and the double letters. The rest flowed from there.
