Better Marry Her

Sheila had a flippancy that made sauciness look the norm.
Her impish ways and playfulness took Jim away by storm.
Her moxie and ***** showed him the meaning of true grit.
She truly got her backbone when he tried to end it after a bit.

I warned you said his mother; his father gave a laugh.
He understood his son, he had taken a similar path.
His wife was moxie personified;, she always got her way.
He married her, because it was easier, that’s all he had to say.
