A Man Upstanding
A Man Upstanding
He’s an upstanding citizen,
A judge no less;
Six feet two, silver white hair;
Posture with an athlete’s chest.
So admired, him and his wife,
He always had his arm round her waist;
Both rocks of the church, so many years;
‘Til she died and saddened his face.
Still he stood tall, it doesn’t take long,
For church widows to zero in;
Saturday he married another church lady;
A new life they’ll happily begin.
Now I know you’re wondering about him,
What dire secret he has must be big,
Sorry to disappoint you folks,
The worst you can say, he wears a wig.
