But you ain’t trickin’ me.

He was always very adamant

He could not change his mind

So I soaked his head in old red wine

Because I am so kind.

When he woke up he looked the same

But he spoke so tenderly:

You may  have tricked some other guys.

But you ain’t trickin’ me.

I said I knew  no other men;

He was  my heart’s desire.

He threw his water glass at me

And said I was a liar.

So then I realised with dread,

My love was utter folly.

I gave him 20 English pounds

To buy himself a lolly.

Adamantine’s good for jewels

But not for picking men.

I shall learn my lesson now.

Pray I’ll never sin again.
