My wife and I as one will think Concerning meat and bread: and drink,. My business judgment she respects, We have well mated intellects; Yet publicly she'll criticize My "most outlandish" choice of ties. My wife and 1 can•get along In things of literature and song; She likes the plays I like to see, We live almost harmoniously; ' She is only scornful when she views My awful taste in boots and shoes. "That awful hat again!" she crus, "I wish you'd let nae choose your',tiesl You've got those ugly shoes again, Why can't you dress like other men?"'
