Some men will forget in their every-day lives

The courtesies due to their spouses;

They get kind of used to their homes and their wives,

Neglecting the walks, the chats, and the drives,

Upon which connubial happiness thrives;

But devotion in mine never drowses.

Now, gents, stop your blushing; I did not intend

To step on the toes of a single male friend.

Your modesty might personalities dread,

So I will say that this model depicted—is dead.
