«Nobody knows what the cause is,

Though some pretend they do;

It’s like some hidden assassin

Waiting to strike at you.

«Childless women get it,

And men when they retire;

It’s as if there had to be some outlet

For their foiled creative fire».

His wife she rang for the servant,

Said, «Don’t be so morbid, dear»;

He said: «I saw Miss Gee this evening

And she’s a goner, I fear».

They took Miss Gee to the hospital,

She lay there a total wreck,

Lay in the ward for women

With the bedclothes right up to her neck.
