There once was a lass who
Could twirl a mean lasso
But lucky in marriage was not.
With husbands a-plenty
When each of them left he
Said: though she was good in the cot,
Her violent temper,
A dog with distemper,
Was nothing compared, so each reckons.
So all of the eight
Sailed right out the gate,
But Burton came back home for seconds.
Please take a detour via Tess's ranch for more poems and stories.
