A beautiful young woman from the 1880's stands by the foggy oceanside with a glass of red wine....
Since I was a young lad - I have been obsessed by the song Daisy Bell - sung barbershop quartet style ... just who the heck was Daisy Bell. I had a chance to find out when a client as me to illustrate a book of poems. Just for fun I included the chorus from the original song - followed by the chorus from on the many answer songs.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do,
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage -
I can't afford a carriage,
But you'd look sweet on the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.
Bobby, Bobby
Here is my answer true.
I can't cycle, for I get black and blue.
If you can't afford a carriage
There won't be any marriage.
For I'll be switched if I'll be hitched
On a bicycle built for two.
