So happy they have never been!"
(I think they call this "Spoof.")
They swear my wife's the best of cooks,
They hint they're half in love with Sukey,
My daughter, who can boast good looks
(And here begins Blind Hookey).
Then, when they're some more weeks in debt,
I tell them Tick's last door is shut;
When—their knave's tricks not ended yet—
They shuffle—pack—and cut!
