Who is
Celia, what is she,
That
all the blokes commend her?
Holy,
fair, and wise is she;
Though
it pays not to offend her! –
Yet she
still will much admired
be,
Even when someone she loves
drives her up the wall, which some might think – though they’d be wrong -
happens frequently.
Is she
kind as she is fair?
Of
course she’s full of kindness!
All the
house she does repair
And
overlooks the blindness
Of
others who inhabit there,
And when it comes to tools that
are too tricky to work out she politely ignores their lack of flair.
Then to
Celia let us sing,
Our
Celia all excelling:
Yup, she
excels each living thing
Upon
the dull earth dwelling.
But
don’t to her your garlands bring
Because she doesn’t like you to
buy flowers, preferring ones that come out of the garden, free, and all
sweet-smelling.
