She can peel and boil potatoes,
Make a salad OF tomatoes,
But she doesn't know a Latin noun from Greek;
And so well she cooks chlcken
But she cannot tell what's modern from antigua
She knows how to set a table.
And make order out OF Babel
But she doesn't know Euripida from Kant

A real expert must have taught her,
But she cannot tell true eoquence from rant

She ought only 10 read felton,
And she doesn't care for science. not bit:
She likes a plot that thickens
And she's very fond OF Dickens.
From COpperfield TO Martin Chuzzlewit.
She can make her hats and dresses,
Till fellow fair confesses
That there's another maiden half SO sweet:
Where she keeps all things so neatly,
But from Browning not line can che repeat

Makes her look lust like the heroine Of play;
