She married an ‘im-migrant , a male arriver from abroad, * Although he loved an ‘er-igrant, a female arriver, obviously a broad.* At their wedding feast was abundance Seen in the pastry two-step - a very merry dance. She thought it selfish for though his trade was to sell-fish They ate lobster-rific, huge monster lobster dish: ‘Twas subterranean (from bed of the Mediterranean) A celibate creature , a sort of anti-climax crustacean. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Note *Verb “to inter” means “to bury someone” *Colloquial British English says ‘im and ‘er for him and her
