HIGH FINANCE.
Jonas Granitt married and he knew that he was cute,
A Mrs. Drudge, his housekeeper, no less,
For he owed her two years wages—you’ll admit he was astute,
Now he doesn’t owe her anything, I guess!
SHE GOT TIRED OF IT.
They are married and Maudie looks quite worn out,
It’s no wonder—he pestered her so,
He proposed forty thousand and ninety-six times—
Every time but the last she said “No!”
