AS soon. as May had named the day

We were aware they all would swear
In language far from pleasant:
"Confound it! / shall have to buy
The blessed pair 2 present"
Then boy and man in cart and van
And motor car came driving,
With gifts galore, and more and more,
And still they kept arriving,
And housemaid flews and postmen TOO
Till all the terrace wondered,
And night and day they ran away
Lord how the knocker thundered'
We worked In shifts upon the gifts;
And when we had unstrung them,
Wed twenty-score of forks and more,
But not knife among them;
And as we two had scare a sou,
There seemed to be a caret
When silly mugs have claret jugs
But not a drop of claret.
Wed endless gongs and sugar tongs
Of every shape and fashion,
AS if sweet tea was bound to be
Henceforth our ruling passion.
We'd sachets, too, of pink and blue
With sickly perfumes scented,
And, oh, the show OF art nouVeau
With which we were presented!
And now we've got the little lot,
We're under obligation
To every guest we most detest
And every poor relation;
We flnd-too late-we've all we hate,
And nothing that we do not.
