Classic Poem

Now Billy is a Nerve Nut man,
And has been for a year,
His home is in the latest plan,
He never touches beer.
He laughed “Ho-Ho!”; he laughed “Ha-Hah!”
He also laughed “Haw-haw!”
The day he made his Ma-in-Law
A grand Mama-in-Law.

And Billy Baggs declares he knows
'Twas Nerve Nuts did the trick;
He took Heans Nerve Nuts to propose
While courting and love-sick.
“And once again,” says Billy Baggs,
“When I was nearly spent,
They braced me up to face old Knaggs
And ask for his consent.”…

I fear I am too old to change, I fear my tastes are low,
I stick to my improper friends while seasons come and go.
Now Mrs Baggs' cheeks were hot, the wedding cake was iced—
(I'm talking of the fateful day when Billy Baggs got spliced). . . .
