WILSON ENGAGED
You'll take yourself a wife indeed!
No more for you the widower's weed.
Well 'tis best that this should be,
For man must have some company.
Man does not care to be alone,
A fairer one should grace his home.
So that is why our president
Quickly is on marrying bent.
So here's to your long-chinned phiz,
And here's to your wife, two; "gee whiz."
