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.
