In the Looking-Glass
In the Looking-Glass
This woman's husband is fat
And he sweats out of every pore,
But his money has made her an elegant rat
And has opened society's door.
That woman married a stoat
But she wears a chinchilla fur,
For the money he makes on the tote,
He cunningly spends on her.
This woman's husband is rich
But he also gets drunk on beer
So her drawing-room smile is sich
That it hides her bourgeois fear.
Those women all cherish a pact
With lizards who sneer at a wife.
But each of these women in fact.
Has a husband to darken her life.
