The Lady Notorious

A monkey once sat On a gentleman’s lap And its antics were truly uproarious The chain at its wrist Jangled back to the fist Of the fabulous Lady Notorious “Excuse me, dear sir,” She sweetly demurred, “I see that my pet’s been inglorious. I trust this mishap Won’t land me in the lap Of a quandary so unmeritorious.” “No matter, my dear You have nothing to fear For you needn’t think I’m so vainglorious As to actually regret The occasional pet … on the lap by the Lady Notorious.”
