When a wicked young lady named Lou

Said, “my morals are so incredibly loose”,

A Most Rakish Old Gentleman Known As Paul
A most rakish old gentleman known as Paul.
Said, “a happy new year to you all.
Especially all you young women
Who do nothing but sinning!”.
He’s a most dissolute old gentleman is Paul!
Happy New Year!
A very happy new year to you all. May 2021 be a much better year than the previous one!
Very best wishes. Kevin
