The Lucky Old Man

There was an old man from Keokuk,
Who suffered a spate of bad luck,
He said with a grin,
When he finally got in,
I couldn't buy a break for a buck!

The ungracious wife told her old man - Get back out there quick as you can - When you married me - I thought I’d live free - So go out there and beg for our tea… Beryl
