I cried<br />"Or a rather tough worm in your little inside" <br />With a shake of his poor little head, he replied<br />"Oh, willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow!"<br /><br />He slapped at his chest, as he sat on that bough<br />Singing "Willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow" <br />And a cold perspiration bespangled his brow<br />Oh, willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow<br />He sobbed and he sighed, and a gurgle he gave<br />Then he plunged himself into the billowy wave<br />And an echo arose from the suicide's grave<br />"Oh, willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow"<br /><br />Now I feel just as sure as I'm sure that my name <br />Isn't Willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow<br />That 'twas blighted affection that made him exclaim <br />"Oh, willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow" <br />And if you remain callous and obdurate, I <br />Shall perish as he did, and you will know why<br />Though I probably shall not exclaim as I die<br />"Oh, willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow, <b>TWIT</b>willow."<br /><br /><br />W.S.
