Happiness is a state of mind ‘tis said and mine is in a state.
The reason for this state of mine is simple to relate.
There was this girl you see upon whom I was intent,
It appeared as if our relationship was hot and heaven sent.
We wined and dined and loved each other, of that I'm very sure.
The future sparkled brightly like the diamond ring she wore.
But then for various reasons I am reluctant to report,
She left me for another—disappeared without a thought!
The first I knew she’d gone away was a letter on the table,
“I have found another man,” it said, ‘twas signed “Your loving Mabel.”
I couldn’t understand the sub-text to this tersely written note,
For if she’d found another, “Your loving Mabel” she would revoke.
Sadly the happiness I thought was here until the day I die,
Has melted like the ice cream on top of a hot mince pie.
