Fred and Ethel
Fred never bought a pedestal for Ethel's keep
and he provided her with only things cheap.
Despite being a grouch and miser,
it was oft clear Ethel was Fred's desire.
Ethel loved, fussed at and foiled her man
while giving his happiness all one can.
The more she and Lucy grew trouble,
the more she longed for Fred on the double.
