She'd once a quiver-full of beaus;

Old, young, short, tall, dark, light:

Stokes, Nokes, Tibbs, Nibbs, Hill, Till, Fox, Knox

But never Mister Right.

In fact, she was a leetle proud,

And loved to play and park it;

And so, like many another fair,

She'd overstood her market.

The Baker woo'd her once, and oft

At eve love's tale would tell her;
