Helen’s home life
Makes mine and Marie’s
Look complacent comparatively.
Her home’s a hotbed for tulips
Or “two lips” – in hell!
Ours a heavenly hotbed
Where tulips to dwell.
Oh, well! Poor “Hel.”
But one never can tell
From the outside
If a home’s a heaven or hell
On the inside.
It’s probably just as well.
