Jilted By Cheapskates
"I've saved you so much money, dear"
he cooed, about her wedding ring
'Twas then that she began to fear
He'd be this way with everything
"I fear," said she, "this gem is glass"
"The band is made of plastic, too"
"I think I'll have to whup your ass"
"And beat you with your shoe"
"My Dear", said he, "'tis fine and fair"
"The best I could afford, you know"
"In fact, I'll hire an au pair"
She told him just where he could go
"Do go," she said, "To Glister's Jewels,"
"And ask for Mr Valentine"
"Quick, before your ardor cools"
"A solitaire would be divine!"
"I'm off!" he said, "At once! - post haste!"
But he absconded to Peru.
You see, he was a pantywaist
(And something of a cheapskate, too)
