Mr. Allen, by Keith Logan

fan fiction

Mr. Allen

Mr Palmer, Mr Bennet
Are examples that make clear
Life's not easy with a wife
With a void between each ear

Mr Allen, on the other hand
Lives happily and yet
With all his understanding
Feels no pang of a regret

There's a sort of gentle innocence
He treasures in his wife
And has many other interests
That widen out his life

So it is no wonder Catherine
Can show such deep respect
This is a man, a real man
Whose heart she can detect
