Wild Oats

About twenty years

Two girls came in where I worked -A bosomy English

And her friend in specs I could talk to.

Faces in those days

The whole shooting-match off, and I

If ever one had like hers:

But it was the friend I took out,

And in seven years after

Wrote over four hundred letters,

Gave a ten-guinea ringI got back in the end, and

At numerous cathedral

Unknown to the clergy.

I believeI met beautiful twice.

She was

Both times (so I thought) not to laugh.

Parting, after about

Rehearsals, was an

That I was too selfish,

And easily bored to love.

Well, useful to get that learnt,

In my wallet are still two snaps,

Of bosomy rose with fur gloves on.

Unlucky charms, perhaps.
