DEARIE : TEMPOEM

                                           Dedicated to a drunken husband

                                                                                 (not mine)

                           'Tis time to compose for you, Dearie,

                            To make this tempoem quite cheery.

                                     In case you're feeling dreary

                                          Or have smelled beery,

                                                 Hear my theory,

                                                        My weary

                                                           Dearie.
