Jim and Lil Part Two
"Their up to hanky panky,
I can see their eyes gleaming!"
Say's shaky old Pete,
Who's forgotten the meaning;
"They were kinder in the war,
When I was a prisoner" says Jim;
They've gotten together a meeting,
And may even censure him.
They say their love is wicked,
But Lil wonders why?
" Why does our friendship,
Sin to others imply?"
The more they are together;
The more fuel to the fire;
The place is a twitter,
As such censure they inspire.
How could their sweet friendship,
So many offend;
And why do they have to,
Their great love defend?
" Their jealous " says Lil,
" We're not past our prime.
Why at eighty nine -
Is our love such a crime?"
