TO MOLLIDUSTA
by: J.R. Planché
(1796-1880)
- HEN gooseberries grow on the stem
of a daisy,
- And plum-puddings roll on the tide to the shore,
- And julep is made from the curls of a jazey,
- Oh, then, Mollidusta, I'll love thee no more.
-
- When steamboats no more on the Thames shall be going,
- And a cast-iron bridge reach Vauxhall from the Nore,
- And the Grand Junction waterworks cease to be flowing,
- Oh, then, Mollidusta, I'll love thee no more.
