I went to Bombay recently On a jolly three-way ticket. I wanted to get married quick The loneliness was getting wicked. I had only a little time A busy man I am. A couple of weeks I could spare Surely that would be enough, Ma'am? I hired a lady to find me one Woman fair and smart. I paid her all of 30 bucks I expected "zip" and "dart". Could you believe, my dear friends, She did me down royally. All she gave me were three little names And then she demured coyly. This is horrible, gross it is, The shamelessness shocks me. For 30 bucks, I expect much more; It is indeed a handsome fee. I am no longer used to Answers so glib and pat. I like my service with some zip "Sir, would you like fries with that?" anurag
