Animal Instincts

I once had a boyfriend called Matt
Whose cheeks were incredibly fat!
He had warts on his nose
And gargantuan toes;
Well they say love’s as blind as a bat!

As for Jimmy, I gave him the boot
Though to wed me he was resolute.
But they say that a lad
Will turn into his Dad
And his Dad was as bald as a coot!
