Dust the gold off you fingers, mate.

Pearl

Oh isn’t she a beauty?

Oh isn’t she something?

She whistles and skips,

gives generous tips,

her pout pleasant with eyes twinkling.

She learns from the old

and teaches the young,

saves vagrants from cold

with the scarves she knits them.

And when she stays home

on a Saturday night,

she’s content all alone,

a lovely solitary sight.

There’s room in her heart

for mother brother sister and pop

with a vacancy held

for the family she’ll start.

On the day that you find

that this sprite I’ve become

is exactly the kind

you could tenderly love.
