TO PYRRHA

Bert Leston Taylor

What young tin whistle gent, Bedaubed with barber's scent,— What cheapskate waits on you To woo,

O Pyrrha? For whom the puff and rat And transformation that You bought a year ago

Or so, O Pyrrha? Peeved? Not a bit. Not I I'm sorry for the guy.

He draws a lovely lime This time, O Pyrrha! I've dipped. The wet ai n't fine.

Hung on the votive line My duds. The gods can see I'm free. Eh, Pyrrha!
