She Was No Good
Now I know that human life may come in each variety
But I have the mind with a plain view of society
Sometimes a man needs some calm and clarity
So, I called for my wife, who is named for Charity
Let me quote my spouse on the scandal of ballet:
"Every one of those half-naked trollops should be taken out and horsewhipped a good fine wallop
For showing their brazen nakedness they should be living on bread and water or much less
Until they gain a decent living
They'll need repenting and forgiving"
Now let me quote my dear on the subject of the opera:
"Well, it is nothing but unnatural screechings, telling a most unlikely tale. The men are much worse than the woman, screaming like females"
