Half way through dinner, Will had said
That, if objection no one made,
He voted that the tale should be
In the Verandah, so that he
And those who chose might have their smoke.
And very sensibly he spoke,
Since just as women like to sew
When they have nothing much to do,
But may not read or talk, so men
For their cigar or pipe are fain.
