Happy Ending
Sweet young Prudence
saved up thruppence
for a liquorice stick
which cost but tuppence
and gave it a lick
plus a penn'orth of sherbet
for Herbert
the love of her life
hoping some day
she'd be his wife
but he drifted way
then when at last
she knew marriage prospects had passed
our dear Pru' wed Ted instead
amid gaiety and laughter
and as two birds on a telephone wire
they lived happily ever after
