Classic Poem

(I' M I N Love W ITH )

I'm in love with the honorable Mister So and So.
I can't mention his name with propriety,
He's a pillar of Gotham society
And the newspaper columnists all would love to know
I'm in love with the honorable Mister So and So.
He goes out with the fashionable Lady So and So.
While they dine and they dance in a swell room,
I must wait in a stuffy hotel room
For the moment so rare that's convenient for him to spare.
He gets terribly annoyed if he doesn't find me there.
Why must I be living in a back street
Just so he can hide me?
I long to shout it from the housetops
Instead of keeping it all inside me.
There are so many fascinating places I could go,
Invitations galore I get nightly,
" Awf'lly sorry! " I tell them politely,
I'm in love with the honorable Mister So and So.
