Personal Column

 

I seek a maid to marry me.

A homely maid who’s dutiful

 a girl who can smile pleasantly.

Above a maid who’s beautiful.

 

For pretty girls think they can rule.

An equal partners what I need

 and not an empty headed fool

who’s just another mouth to feed.

 

I am not handsome it is true

But I work hard and I’m well paid

 I earn sufficient to keep two

I am a master of my trade.

 

If this advert appeals to you.

Apply at once do not delay

But only homely girls will do

all pretty girls should stay away.

I love this. There's something to be said for a wise man who knows well what he wants.
