Merry Widow's Tale

She was quite young,
When first they met,
John was her first,
She ever bed,
And six months later,
They were wed,
And lived together thirty years,
When John dropped dead.

Four weeks later,
She ran into Mike O'Toole,
A good, old friend,
She knew from school,
With Mike she spent
A single night,
It was an absolute delight,
Soon they were wed,
And she'd reflect,
John was a burger,
Quite nice,
But Mike,
He was filet mignon,
God - what a price!
