The Budget
Mrs. Henpeck kept budget,
Mr.. H. gave her his check,
And when statements came in numbers,
Mr.. H. called out: by heck
what you do with all the money !.
That / give you is fright, - ,
Let me see that budget system,
Maybe it's not running right"
"I'm surprised" his loved one faltered.
With an accent rather quick,
"That you, sir, would dare to question
Me or my arithmetic
I'm not questioning he spluttered,
"This is all / want to know,
II you've lived within your budget
And Of course your books will show"
eff you've figured out precisely
How much money you will spend
On each item of the budget
And from none Of them you lend
You will find it very simple,
Everything will come out right 7
If you have the budget handy,
will look at it tonight"
Mrs Henpeck brought the budget,
Mr.. Henpeck looked it DER,
And the pucker tween his eyebrows
Seemed to tighten more and more
Finally the quicker vanished,
And he said in panied SURPRISE,
