Sorry about this little piece of fluff. I just happened to have the rhyme in my head when somebody asked about the four and twenty families, so I was inspired to write this. I hope it is ok to post here (and sorry I couldn't fit Wickham, Mr. Collins or Charlotte in)
Sing a song of Darcy,
Longbourne is quite fine,
Four and twenty families
With whom to dine.
The piano was opened
And Liz began to sing.
Mary's song did punish
Girls wild for dancing.
Master was in the library,
Counting all his money.
His wife was in the parlour,
Her nerves were feeling funny.
Hil was running to and fro,
Dealing with what arose,
When along came Bingley
And gave Jane a rose.
