Once on a time there lived maid
Who never was of mice afraid,
A perfect game of whist she played,
This maid enhancing.
OF gowns and styles she never talked,
Attempts to compliment she baked,
For exercise she only walked
She hated dancing.
She wore no loud, queer colored glove.
She never yet had been in love,
Her bureau held no picture of
The latest actor.
And, furthermore, she never went
To matinees, nor never spent
Her cha Oge for soda; roses sent
Gould not attract her.
OF slang she never used word.
OF flirting she had never heard,
Society-it seems absurd
She did not care for.
At gay resorts where men were not
She never seemed to care iot,
Until the mothers wondered what
The girl was there for.
No one will know from whence she came
She left no record but her fame,
Not even can we learn her namo
o. what her station.
When did she live? How did she die2
She lived in fancy. It's a lie.
.I,ye only tried to practice my
Imagination.
