Clarence Michael James Stanislaus Dennis - A Haven Marred lyrics

Jones is a man exceeding meek And henpecked, so his neighbours say, Who, one glad evening every week, Sought sanctuary in his queer way. At his suburban picture show He'd sit and gloat, in mood serene, Quite recompensed for all his woe To see dumb women on the screen. But now the picture house he shuns; His week becomes one weary drag; For, 'mid the crash of 'he-men's' guns, Even the female shadows nag!
