Sympathy For Jones

Jonesy has a lot to say:
This is Jonesy’s wedding-day.

Let him have his short-lived fun;
Let him prize his putrid pun;

Let him love his little laugh;
Let him chew his cheerful chaff;

Let him to his mirth succumb:
Tomorrow Jonesy will be glum. (dumb?)

His orations, then I fear,
Will condense to “Yes, My Dear.”

Let old Jonesy have his say–
This is Jonesy’s last free day.
