TO MARGARET AND JOHN


Margaret and John went dancing,
To the light of the silvery moon.
The air was warm, the night was still,
A delicious night in June.

Said Margaret: “Oh, John, I love you so,
And what a fabulous notion,
To bring me here, to Saltburn Pier,
That I might gaze at the ocean.”

Said Margaret: “Oh, John, John, my love,
John, you make me swoon.
We are such a carefree, bohemian couple,
Why don't we run away....soon?”

Margaret was in a devil-may-care mood,
Music and champagne had gone to her head.
“Oh, John, let's go - to San Francisco,
Let's go... let's go now!” she said.

John pensively gazed at the ocean,
Skimmed its surface with a pebble.
“Eee, 'ecky thoomp, we can't”, he wailed.
“They don't sell Tiny Rebel!”*
