Long In the Tooth
His scheme was to choose someone older
At first she just gave the cold shoulder
He soon won her over
His life was in clover
Except when she begged him to hold her!
His plan was to be very rich
To run with her money, then ditch
He plotted and schemed
His head filled with dreams
They flew to Las Vegas…got hitched!!
His new bride was long in the tooth
And quickly he too, lost his youth
She thought ..."something's funny"!?
So she hid all their money
Then learned all the dark, wretched truth!
He was told “You have grounds for divorce”
His lawyer said, “We should win …of course!”
But she gave him the boot
And the one with the loot
Was the old hag that looked like a horse!
