I had a little husband – I never knew a worse:
For better than his wife or life
He loved his little parse.

I did my best to wheedle him-
He saw my deep intent.
And though he had a chronic cough,
He never coughed a cent.

So I sought a little lawyer-
My husband’s own close crony-
And divvied with the man of law
My lawful alimony.
