Now once again we welcome Lent,
With open arms and wide;
The South Dakota of the soul
Where forty days we bide.
Divorces from our baser selves
In record time we gain;
For Lawyer Conscience charges high
So Fashion we retain.
At last, from fault and folly free,
We all emerge, and Their
With merry glee and happy shout
Go forth to wed again.
