THE KEN BROWN MASONIC POETRY COLLECTION
SO MOTE IT BE
(By a Masonic Widow)
My 'usband is a Mason
And very proud is 'e
'E tells me nowt about it
Except, "So Mote it be"
'E wears a little apron
Made from the skin of Lamb.
And when i asked to see it
'E said, "So Mote i am"
'E's gonna join another Lodge,
That means an extra bill.
"My word,can you afford it?"
'E said "So mote i will"
"It used to be just once a month
Now it's every other night !
You cant go out more often!"
"Oh Yes,so mote i might"
"Do you ever think I'm lonely?
Does it not occur at all occur?"
"I thought about it once,love;
But then,so mote it were."
I 'ave my little secrets
When 'e's out on the spree.
If 'e ever 'ears about them.......
Oh dear! So mote it be !
