It’s nice to meet serious people
And hear them explain their views:
Your concern for the rights of women
Is especially welcome news.
I’m sure you’d never exploit one;
I expect you’d rather be dead;
I’m thoroughly convinced of it—
Now can we go to bed?

You wait for about a year
And as soon as one approaches your stop
Two or three others appear.

And yet I love her till I die.
