The poem
Said Jones: "I'm glad my wife's not clever; Her intellect is second-rate. If she was witty she would never Give me a chance to scintillate; But cap my humorous endeavour And make me seem as addle-pate."
Said Smith: "I'm glad my wife's no beauty, For if a siren's charm she had, And stinted her domestic duty, I fear that she would drive me mad: For I am one of those sad fellows Who are unreasonably jealous."
Said Brown: ""I know my wife's not witty, Nor is she very long on looks; She's neither humorous nor pretty, But oh how she divinely cooks! You guys must come some night to dinner - You'll see my little girl's a winner."
So it's important in our lives, (Exaggerating more or less), To be content with our wives, And prize the virtues they possess; And with dispraise to turn one's back On all the qualities they lack.
