Dearest Daughter(er)

On one occasion, an elderly dotter(er)

Asked for the hand of John James dear daughter(er)

Even tho’ knowing this Elaine was a plotter(er)

Hada Witch gotter(er), he’d a-fought(’er)(er)

 

He, originally a knight of the realm

Gave all up to follow the helm

While having sailed the seven seas

Had always done just as he’d please

 

Then lost a fortune in a poker game

But it was a fortune he could reclaim

Told, that he could erase this financial stain

If finding and marrying a Lass, named Elaine

 

This was the 42,751 Elaine he’d met

With nary a-one having married him yet

However, John James Daughter hadn’t say nyet

Because, before she agreed to become his pet

She requested he buy her, a new Corvette

 

The marriage went astray after only one day

During consummation the old dotter(er) passed away

Allowing Elaine’s enjoyment of his fortune to this very day

Which she reflects upon whilst leaving him a bouquet
