\nHe used to know a lady named Matilda
\nWho’d “take you to the Moon” for half-a-crown.
\nBut sixty years ago the bombers killed ‘er
\nAnd wiped away the seedy side of town.<\/p>\n
His wife, of course, had loved him for a season;
\nThough she and both their sons had passed away,
\nHe didn’t think remarriage would be treason
\nBut couldn’t find a partner for his play.<\/p>\n
The caf\u00e9 where he lunched was “going cyber”
\nThe owner showed him “how to Internet”
\nSome people would say he “lacked moral fibre”
\nBut loneliness is easy to regret.<\/p>\n
And now for just two hundred pounds an hour
\nA new Matilda “helps him in the shower”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
