Jenny kissed me when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in; Time, you thief, who loves to get Sweets into your list, put that in: Say I´m weary, say I´m sad, Say that health and wealth have missed me, Say I´m growing old, but add, Jenny kissed me.
a fresh modern version janks open the rime structure:
Jenny kissed me when we met, jumping from her chair, Time, you thief, who loves to add sweets into your list, put that in: say I´m weary, say I´m sad, say I´m poor and in ill health, say I´m growing old - but note, too, Jenny kissed me. |
