1.
AN annex maid returning
From the classic shades of learning,
With her Coptic-optic volume in her hand, hand, hand,
Met a captivating tutor -
For her heart he was a suitor -
With a lammy, clammy smile that was bland, bland, bland.
II.
For the maid he had a passion
In a true tutoric fashion,
And had woo'd and coo'd her often in the car, car, car;
But his future life was blighted
(Tho' his love it was requited)
By the fussy, mussy muddling of her ma, ma, ma.
III.
Said the tutor to the maiden,
In a voice with sorrow laden,
And a lumpy, thumpy something in his throat, throat, throat,
"Tell me truly, dainty fairy,
Ere your precious self I marry,
You will truly-ruly never want to vote, vote, vote."
IV.
But he quailed beneath the glitter
Of her eyes so cold and bitter,
As she started, darted at him with a rush, rush, rush,
And the maiden wrote a thesis
On his few remaining pieces,
Which she gather'd in a dust-pan with a brush, brush, brush.
