Although no doubt a trifle "knobby;"

Whilst I'm reclining at mine ease,

I leave you standing in the lobby.

I ever treat you thus, and yet

I haven't got a friend who's firmer;

In point of fact, you even let

Me shut you up without a murmur.

Now some seek solace sweet in smoke,

And make a pipe their AMARYLLIS;

So think not that I do but joke
