POTHERING

 

He was in such a pother

Such was the lot of the suitor

For he was to ask for his lady’s hand

Well that was what he had planned

But he was in such a nervous state

He couldn’t get his head straight

He was sure she would be receptive

But signs can be deceptive

So he resolved to do what was planned

And ask for his lady’s hand

Although to be perfectly fare

He was more interested in the rest of her
