A Jeeves and Wooster Villanelle

“What ho! I say! That’s a jolly good wheeze!”
It always starts so innocently, eh?
“Precisely, sir. I do endeavor to please.”

An old school chum is in a bit of a squeeze,
And Bertie rallies round to save the day.
“What ho! I say! That’s a jolly good wheeze!”

But with Aunts looming large, the best plans freeze.
It’s time to hear what Jeeves may have to say.
“Precisely, sir. I do endeavor to please.”

A careful study of psychologies
of individuals he now displays.
“What ho! I say! That’s a jolly good wheeze!”

The solution absolutely takes the cheese,
dodging an engagement on the way.
“Precisely, sir. I do endeavor to please.”

“How ever do you come up with schemes like these?”
“In all modesty, sir, I really couldn’t say.”
“What ho! I say! That’s a jolly good wheeze!”
“Precisely, sir. I do endeavor to please.”
