O For A Lodge.

Topics: classic

"O for a lodge in some vast wilderness"             A man cried out in his distress,             For he was tired and sick of life,             And weary of this worldly strife,             And longed for to be far away             From the continuous daily fray.             But the fond partner of his life,             His own dearest, loving wife,             Those sentiments did not admire,             For fiercely they did rouse her ire,             Said she, I'll never let you budge             To go and join another lodge,             Your lodges take six nights each week,             And still another lodge you seek,             Continuous abroad you'll roam,             And never enter your own home.
