My dear Deceased Wife's Sister	A
The wife of my bosom being still happily amongst us	B
The above	C
As the learned might say	D
Is a misnomer	A
You on the other hand	E
Are a Miss	F
And I would not marry you	G
To save myself from boiling oil	H
If I had wanted you	G
I could have had you in the beginning	I
And if I had married you	G
The wife of my bosom	J
Would have been aunt to her own children as it were	A
And in the event of your demise	K
She would also have been	L
My deceased wife's sister	A
Which is at once inconsequential and peculiar	A
A man cannot marry his deceased wife's sister	A
Till she is dead	M
This is quite wrong	N
In my humble opinion	O
It is also quite right	P
Anyway we will close this parenthesis	F
With the usual sign	Q
And proceed along the primrose path	R
Of business	B
As I have already remarked	S
In my usual quaint way	D
A man cannot marry	T
His deceased wife's sister	A
Until she is dead	M
By she of course I mean the man's wife	U
The bishops declare	V
That he cannot marry her anyhow	W
By he I mean the man	X
And by her of course	Y
The bishops mean	Z
The man's deceased wife's sister	A
I desire to be explicit on these points	A2
In order that we may avoid	B2
Ambiguity	T
Well my dear deceased wife's sister	A
Always remembering that Mrs is still alive	C2
What is your view of matters	D2
Do you really wish to marry me or not	E2
Have you any opinions about Lord Hugh Cecil	F2
If so	G2
Kindly state them	H2
Was he or was he not justified in demanding	I
On Wednesday night	P
That the word Shame	I2
Be put upon the record	J2
If so why not	E2
If not why so	G2
My dear deceased wife's sister	A
Do not let us get confused	K2
Let us clear our minds of Cecil	F2
After all is said	M
You are the Auntie of my children	O
And the great niece of my wife's great uncle	F2
Not to say the sister in law of my children's father	A
Come along	N
Here are ducats	G2
A ring	I
And a Canadian parson	O
Let us get married at once	G2
Of course it is so sudden	O
It always is	G2
And we have forgotten about Mrs	G2
We always do	G
But I tell you here and now	W
And in good set terms	G2
My dear deceased wife's sister	A
That if I wish to marry	T
Either you or any more of your mother's daughters	G2
Which Heaven forbid	L2
I shall go to Canada or Australia	M2
And marry 'em	J
