I’m writing to accede to anything, you may request, I’ll build the fires and help darn the socks, I’ll polish your shoes and the cradle I’ll rock, In other words I’ll make a man, The best you’ve seen in many a land. So please decide without delay, Your answer yes or nea, And if for me there is no hope Send me back ten yards of rope. p. s. I’ll bet you a kiss you can’t guess, Who sent this letter to your address.
