My Husband Took the Shrine

MY husband took the Shrine? Well, yes;
He scared me half to death.
he whooped, and yelled and pulled nv dress.
Oh, my! and what a BREATH
What things, alack, the Shrine must give
10 those with folly blind;
For Jacks best clothes looked like sieve.
His shirt was ripped behind
His feet had blsters on the soles.
He'd lost tooth or two;
his very socks were full of holes
And where he sits was blue
placed my hand upon his back,
tried to smooth his hair,
He gave yell, my dear old Jack.
And said: you hold on there!"
he llmped around, both legs were sore
And yet he grinned and grinned,
And limped and limped ah, yes. he swore
Twas dreadful the way he sinned.
And when alone I saw him start.
AS one does when he dives;
he threw his hands above his head,
Ihen slapped them on his thighs,
And IN his sleep he muttered "Mec"-
And something just like sis"
Is Selam" and "Pommery-Sec."
And "Lucious Lulu, here's kissp
And something bout great big fight
And Kaaba, and a stone,
Hold on the rope, and hold her tight"
And bout his falling from throne.
l wonder what it all can be?
think his wife should know.
He said it was a mystery,
And women were too slow.
May be that's true, yet let it 90,
But I've watched the little straws,
And find that Jack is not so
Conceited as he was.
l guess they took him down a peg,
And made him kinder, too.
1 find it easier to pull his leg
And get a plunk or two.
10 wives whose husbands get tooegay,
Or swell, and think they're fine,
Take my advice, don't lose day
Until they take the Shrine.
