Her ample breasts like moons are seen
Beneath her thin alpaca blouse.
Mrs. Briggs of Sausage Green,
She is an old Egyptian queen,
And she has Cheops Briggs for spouse.
And when she shouts down Turnip Street,
"Lawks! of all the dirty sights!
'Enry, quit that puddle quick!"
She has the regal voice that beat
The eardrums of the Israelites,
And turned the tribal bosoms sick.
But when 'Enry drooped and ailed,
And 'Enry from her side was torn
In a hearse down Dingy Lane,
O she wept the lad in vain,
As that other queen bewailed
The slaying of the eldest born.
