Jim and Lil Part 1
Dear old Jim and Lil,
Have caused quite a stir;
Who would have thought,
Their love would occur;
You see old Jim and Lil,
Fell in love at eighty nine;
When at the old age home,
Their hearts did entwine.
Yet it's a great friendship,
That others are trying to quell,
Now the busybodies,
Are trying to make their life hell;
" They say, when we meet,
Doors must be kept open wide -
For heavens sake! " says Jim,
" We've got nothing to hide!
But we'd sure like our privacy,
Away from this mob,
Who our friendship of dignity,
Is trying to rob."
Yes, their love has certainly,
Caused a lot of fuss;
As the old gossips,
Have nothing else to discuss.
" We're only pals " cries Lil,
In a great deal of distress;
" It's digusting behaviour!"
Cries frigid old Bess;
"We're not running a brothel,
It won't get to that stage!"
Say's the haughty Mrs Sibson,
Declaring the neighbours,enraged.
