Limerick (Part 4)

She felt so rejected and so
What to do next she didn’t know
So she got off the bus
Needing to discuss
How best to attract a new beau.

So Gertie phoned a friend

Who just couldn’t comprehend

So Gertie phoned a friend
Who just couldn’t comprehend
Her desperation for a man

So Gertie phoned a friend
Who just couldn’t comprehend
Her desperation for a man
But suggested she can

So Gertie phoned a friend
Who just couldn’t comprehend
Her desperation for a man
But suggested she can
If her flighty ways she would amend

Promising to mend her ways

Promising to mend her ways
She relaxed and discarded her stays

Promising to mend her ways
She relaxed and discarded her stays
Found the nearest bar

Promising to mend her ways
She relaxed and discarded her stays
Found the nearest bar
Where a singer played guitar

Promising to mend her ways
She relaxed and discarded her stays
Found the nearest bar
Where a singer played guitar
And a good looking man caught her gaze.

He offered to buy Gertie a drink

And although she was tickled pink
She felt she had to say no

And although she was tickled pink
She felt she had to say no
Because she’d somewhere to go

He offered to buy Gertie a drink
And although she was tickled pink
She felt she had to say no
Because she’d somewhere to go
And she went off to the skating rink.

Once there she put on her skates

Hoping she’d meet up with her mates

Once there she put on her skates
Hoping she’d meet up with her mates
But of her friends there were none

Once there she put on her skates
Hoping she’d meet up with her mates
But of her friends there were none
And skating alone was no fun

Once there she put on her skates
Hoping she’d meet up with her mates
But of her friends there were none
And skating alone was no fun
And her own company she hates.

So dejected and lonely she fled

So dejected and lonely she fled
Went back to her hotel and to bed

So dejected and lonely she fled
Went back to her hotel and to bed
She curled up with a book
