The Three Suitors
Three Suitors they came a courting she
On three Sundays, consecutively
All three she served with Earl Grey Tea
And requested of each, “How will thous Love-th Me?”
Suitor number one said he “ I will love-th you with All Dignity”
Suitor number two said he” I will love-th you Quite Divinely
Suitor number three said he” I will love-th you, Most Amorously”
She thought about these Suitors Three
And wondered which one would, her husband be
She entertained the thought of a love with Dignity
And she responded to Divinity, most thoughtfully
The one she chose excitedly, was suitor number Three
It seems she desired him, The Most Ardently.
