The plot of a well-known novel condensed into 16 lines of verse.
Bright bonnie Connie, though less bonnie latterly,
Marries a knight and becomes Lady Chatterley.
Clifford, her spouse, tries his best to appease her
But, being defective below, fails to please her.
Michaelis, a playwright, attempts to relieve her
Though, sadly, his efforts serve only to grieve her
When into the frame springs the frankest of fellers
Who’s surly but burly, the gamekeeper – Mellors.
Nothing he does or reveals to her frights her,
Indeed what she sees of him simply delights her
Till, finding herself in the family way,
She pops off to Venice in dire dismay.
The pair, being married, must file for divorce
But their partners object, which is par for the course,
And thus the tale ends with them stuck in a rut
Both rueing their pranks in that infamous hut!
