A Dilemma
HARD worm beans
Without any bother,
A wife he has married
And doesn’t want his mother.
He must leave his mother,
Or quarrel with his wife,
And thus they are separated
All their life.
Cruel Little Glutton
HE ate too much,
That second brother,
And when he had eaten
He beat his mother.
Unfortunate
HE pulled up the wick
With the candlestick knife,
And found he had married
A bald-headed wife.
Her eyes were askew,
And her mouth was awry,
And the silly old fellow
Was so mad he could cry.
