Leaving, for ports unknown, he said

She felt that pang, a silent dread

No longer anchored, her feelings, kept

She watched, then turned and quietly wept

Bracelets around her wrist, a reminder

No matter what, he’d always find her

For she was his reason to come back alive

The only thing he needed, to survive

The long journey’s, carried over the seas

Knowing she’d be waiting, his beautiful Elouise

Softest petals bloom

Velvety flowers, adorn

In purple splendor

You could tell by the look on her face
It was something she’d never embrace

Mama promised, if she got it right
A sweet surprise, would be her delight

Dressed up, in white lace and pink flowers
She tried to do it, for hours and hours

Lying down in the grass, quite exhausted
This whole curtsy deal had her daunted

Angered, indeed, by her now dirty knees
She’d rather lie there, than forever be taunted

Hickory and Dickory went to the doc
To find out why Hickory was gaining

Only to discover, a baby on the way
Which started ole Dickory complaining

He never had kiddies in mind, for his age
She, on the other hand, was glowing

Wondering why she had that look on her face
He stood there, confused and unknowing

Hickory went about her days, smiling
Until it was time for the baby to arrive

Dickory was one nervous Nelly
And he, the nurses would have to revive

When at last, the child was born
It was love, at first sight, with a shock!

The baby looked nothing like Dickory
But he sure as hell looked like the doc!

He hid behind a computer screen

Hobnobbed, with the best of them

Nobody knew quite who he was

Though he thought of himself as a gem

He could woo all the ladies, sight unseen

They would swoon, at his debonair style

But he knew, his secret life was obscene

It took its toll on him, after awhile

In an effort to make himself come clean

He gathered the girls, all together

The biggest mistake, he’d ever make

Left him coated, in tar and feathers
