Lenny Wankerstein, the vivacious guy,
never cared a damn for the bawlers;
the girlfriend gifted him a jazzy tie,
and he wore it elegantly like banners.
His ardent neck held on the buy,
but the miniature muscles, to his horrors;
gave in to weighty fabric of three-ply,
and he looked like a man with plunders.
Now he is down, yet shrunken and dry,
with his head burning in pyres;
we wish him good health with a sigh,
get well soon, Lenny, relieve the sponsors.
