Jane Austen lied to us
It may sound glib, but it's true
She made us believe in love and felicity
She made us believe in someone who
Delights in a voracious reader
Finds beauty in a dark lively eye
Under this misapphrension my
Labours have gone unnoticed
No-one has invited me to a ball
The handsome man, seems to ignore Jane's plan
And chooses the slag with no dowry at all.

Shoes and ships and sealing wax. And the other stuff that's in my brain.
