Description |
A man holds a child and a soiled cloth. A woman from behind a curtain asks, "Haven't you changed tha child yet?" The man replies,
"Yes my love, and now he wants his chair." The valentine mocks him for being ordered around by his wife and makes use of scatological
humor.

Notes |
Text: Why you silly mawkish dandle / Type of henpeck’d Mr. Candle, /Who at spousy’s angry word / Tho’ not dead will be in-terred
(turd,) /And like a sailor in a sloop, / Will find a place upon the poop, /Do you think I would incline, / To choose a stinking
Valentine.
