What Pleased Pearle - Final 'e'

   What pleased Pearle about Larry
      His chest was not overly hairy

   And when he stood up straight 
      He was nearly five foot eight  

   Then there were his table manners
      Not bad for the son of a tanner

   I've neglected his unpimpled face
      (Perhaps ‘cos he had moles in their place) 

   But Larry’s sine qua non, to which she eagerly agreed
      He always spelled Pearle’s name with two ‘e’s’

   So, they lived happy lives together, the perfect couple 
      75 years of wedded bliss ~ no need for a prenuptial
