Plain Jenny
She’s not exactly a stunner
Or a beauty contest top-runner.
Sometimes she slips up on grammar.
But is that a reason to damn 'er?
Some men want gold and not copper,
And more often than not come a cropper.
George married a pretty blue stocking.
That divorce case, how horribly shocking.
Giles got hitched to a bunny,
Who soon hopped off with his money.
Cyril, with his eye for good looks,
Is now happy with someone who cooks.
Poor Herbert fell for a hooker,
And then most sadly mistook 'er
For his faithful, his heaven-sent wife.
(In fact, they were hell-bent on strife).
Such examples truly are many.
You can get two belles for a penny.
But I’ll keep to good-hearted Jenny.
Plain Jenny, you’ll do for a life.
