I brought two friend to share my fire,
To crack a joke or two;
I kissed one friend, and smacked my lips,
And sighed, as lovers do.
And never think, when I had slept
And, waking, found them gone -
That I abused my absent friends,
To find myself alone.
Now, shall I call my friends by name,
That shared this fire of mine?
Well, one was called 'Young Walnuts', and
The other was 'Old Wine'.
