Cecil had worn his brand new hose
But now wondered if he correctly chose
Because although it looked really slick
It was so thin that he worried sick
His sea serpent it would rudely expose.

More than he ever had been in the Service
Because among the wedding girls there
Much romance did he once share
And he didn’t want a great gal fuss.
