Here We Are—In Again

Policeman Knife had by his wife

A set of bouncing twins;

One took a cough which took it off

From this abode of sins;

Number one no sooner died

And into the coffin slid,

When number two took the flu

And joined the other kid.

She only weighs two pounds less than a horse.

THERE ARE A THOUSAND THINGS LIFE’S WORTH LIVING FOR. ONE IS WINE, ONE IS SONG—AND THE OTHER 998 ARE WOMEN.

I got a girl named Stella,

She’s got a mouth like an open umbrella;

She’s knock-kneed, crippled, her eyes turned in—

But a darn good girl for the shape she’s in.
