Indulgent Lines For a Maid Named Rose

I know a maid—her name is Rose.
     She has long hair that’s thick and dark,
and great, green eyes like no one knows;
     and she can sing just like a lark.

She loves to read, and is well-read:
     she’s a genius, and knows a lot—
in truth, there’s so much in her head
     to figure out than just let rot.

Glad to say she’s now a student
     enrolled in classes at a college:—
how wonderful, how elegant,
     that she attends a place of knowledge!

'Ere long, she’ll graduate with honors
     and "summa cum laude" distinction,
with a master’s conferred upon her
     to pursue disease intervention.

In all this time, I’ll support her;
     and be the best friend that she needs:
I’ll be there to urge and exhort her,
     to guide her from life's baleful "weeds."
