My wife who's called Olive
I love her so much
Even though she only has one leg
And walks with a crutch

She has rough grey skin
She's not pretty or fair
I love running my fingers
Through her thin greasy hair

She can't cook or bake
She's as lazy as sin
But she reads all my poems
Before chucking them in the bin

Our love is eternal
she's six months to live
She's wealthy, unhealthy
My poor dear Olive.
