At the variety of people you would meet.

The couple at number twenty-three
Have been married nearly seven years

Everyday he works out in his garden
While digging something did squirm
Found he'd disturbed an earth worm
Pete said "Sorry I do beg your pardon."

A beautiful day for Emilia J
A day for surprise, a day for a song,

Shifting her loyalty like her mother

Oh, Alas! She has secretly married the moor.
Tricked by Emilia and pitched sexier

With Washed-Ashore Emilia,
Neither saw The Cadillac 
Not The Woman in Lilac,
Whom they’d decided to waste,
Stripping her down to the waist”.
