forty two kisses were placed on a note
which had been sent to Miss Marla Mote

when she opened the note she was most surprised
as all the kisses were terribly undersized

she crumpled the note up without haste
and threw it into the paper bin waste

so disappointed was she to find kisses so small
being sent to her by that miserly man from Frobisher Hall

he never was one for writing anything in BOLD PRINT
as the ink would have cost him a fortune and kept him forever skint

forty two small kisses from the miserly man at Frobisher Hall
did of Miss Marla Mote's heart greatly appall
