harry hicks was a natural child
born to be free and wild
he roamed the earth like a tumbleweed
and was somewhat inclined to greed
harry loved a girl named ella jane
who lived in a house on a windy plain
with her widowed mother and a black cat
the mother was thin but the cat was fat
harry came to pay his respects
the mother looked at him through her specs
she thought he might be rich
her brain began to twitch
ella jane was more astute
and saw that harry was just a galoot
with no more future than a hayloft rat
but she did not care too much about that
if harry was willing to earn a fair wage
things might proceed to a next stage
and ella jane encourage his advances
because life is a succession of chances
ella jane’s mother, whose name by the way
was margaret millicent may
thought from harry’s attitude
that his background was not so rude
that he was a scion of the upper classes
having his way with country lasses
but could be brought to heel
by a woman who was real
did ella jane have it in her
to tame the randy sinner?
margaret millicent thought she might
because she had been brought up right
