Title: Rediculous Welcome
English Version
Title: Ridiculous Welcome
When she reaches eight and twenty
So it’s but natural to fear
The doorway to getting gray.
For whatever you’d like to do
To prevent it from weakening
It is destined to fall
For its luster withered.
Very soon you should avoid
This attitude that’s vile
Transparent you should be
Especially to lovers S. and B.
So forget about your anger
For it will make you older
Particularly when you’re deceived
By the very stupid G.
Be happy all the time
When sweetness in them you see
The old D. and also M.
Who are to a funnel likened.
So if you continue doing this
There’s no doubt you’ll receive
The seventh Sacrament
Which Don Domingo will send.
