Dragon Lady
She chased him here and chased him there
And then when he finally caught her
Hooked, befuddled and unaware
He married his mother-in-law's daughter
Then when the honeymoon trip began
He found it most unromantic
Her mother, his bride and the also ran
Steamed far across the Atlantic
He couldn't figure why he deserved
And knew he couldn't forsee
He knew for a fact he hadn't
Reserved ship space for this unholy three
However he sinned, he had to atone
To retreat from this awful mess
He knew he would never be left alone
With his bride, whom he couldn't caress
Diabollically he dreamed up plans
To get rid of the Dragon Lady
There were no sane if, buts or ands
He had to do something real shady
Tossing his mother-in-law overboard
At first seemed to be the solution
But this idea he found he abhorred
Since he was anti-ocean pollution
He told the ship's Captain his story
The man in total command
But Captain would allow nothing gory
So could think of nothing offhand
But when mother-in-law spotted the Captain
And hoisted herself upon him
She was never ever seen again
'Cause she didn't know how to swim
