The Shepherd’s Reply To The Nymph
Well, fuck off, then, you rotten cow,
I wouldn't want to have you now.
If you'd prefer a richer man,
go find the sucker – if you can!
You're fucking ugly, just a dog,
your breath stinks like a fetid bog.
your teeth are yellow, black and green –
your gob's the worst I've ever seen!
You've legs just like two skinny twigs,
your nose reminds me of a pig's ,
and under it's a fine moustache!
It's hard to tell if you're a lass!
Your eyes resemble pools of piss,
your voice is like a viper's hiss,
so listen here, and this is true:
I'd sooner shag my sheep than you!
No doubt you've blown a thousand cocks,
no doubt your cunt is filled with pox.
If I so much as held you close,
I'd end up with a nasty dose.
I'd rather be a long time dead
than wake up next to you in bed
and realise for all my life
a bitch like you would be my wife.
