His Lady Friend

Topics: classic

Who is Sylvia? What is she      That early every morning     You desert your family      And rush to see her, scorning     Your once cherished ma and me?     Are her playthings such a treat?      I will steal 'em from her;     Better that than not to meet      My son and heir all summer,     Save when he comes home to eat.     Or is she herself the one      And only real attraction?     Has your little heart begun      To get that sort of action?     Better wait a few years, son.
