Would you our pleasure banish

And live but to regret?

Who Was the Fool?

A fool there was, so the story goes,

Who fell in love with some feminine clothes,

And a bit of a bone and a hank of hair,

That’s known as the woman that did not care;

But a fool must follow his natural bent,

So it wasn’t long ’fore his goods were spent.

When he was stripped to his foolish hide
