Giving Iowa a Try

Because Baritone
lost wife Adeline

to the president
of the Stamp Club,

the rest of the quartet
said scrub the hymn
to her sweetness--her

fair face beaming
elsewhere. But he

soldiered on with
it and them.

(‘cross town, Stamp
Club's spouse had

arranged her face in
stone, hardly singing. )

When Baritone left in
tears, Tenor noodled
in Everest falsetto

And thus in daily strife
mustn’t trust

philandering philatelists
of any stripe!

Other two harmonizing.
When he took off on

All women of stone
need never-ending bone,

they booed the feeble wit. Trio
flew then to Reilly's Sump Pump,

a kind of club where self-
respect is suspect and
motives quickly surface.
