Anna

He doesn't have big muscles or good looks, a bald patch on his head And Anna told her closest friend he's not much use in bed His salary and social rank the reason she chose Ted She married him for his degrees his job and his Dip Ed. She could have married Joseph her first love but his family are poor And he works in a factory and his job not so secure She loved him more than she love Ted he had good looks as well But his lack of degrees and social rank against the man did tell. Anna the only daughter of Dr and Mrs Jones married one near her own rank With high degrees and a good job and money in the bank By love's feelings she could not be swayed she could have married Joe When he asked her to become his wife her reply to him was 'no'. Some by love's feelings don't be swayed their heart won't rule their head They stay within their social group and in their own group wed To marry one of lower rank a step towards poverty You call that class distinction or you call that snobbery? . Some like to think that social rank is nowadays out of fashion But Anna one of the many who did not wed for love or passion She told her closest female friend 'he's not much use in bed' And that for his money and his job she only married Ted.
