The chimney sweepers

Wash their faces and forget to wash the neck;

The lighthouse keepers

Let the lamps go out and leave the ships to wreck;

The prosperous baker

Leaves the rolls in hundreds in the oven to burn;

The undertaker

Puts a small note on the coffin saying: "Wait till I return,

I've got a date with Love!"

And deep-sea divers

Cut their boots off and come bubbling to the top;

And engine drivers

Bring expresses in the tunnel to a stop;

The village rector

Dashes down the side-aisle half-way through a psalm;

The sanitary inspector

Runs off with the cover of the cesspool on his arm —

To  keep his date with Love!
