A lad from north-western Nantucket
Fell in love with Miss Lucy Van Luckett.
When she asked what he did,
He said, "I sell squid,"
She said, "Are you mad, love? Go suck it!"

Delightful! I can just see her face fall and total demeanor change at the unwelcome reply, "I sell squid!" Poor fellow! Congrats on well-deserved gold!
