Ny sweetheart has her faults In plenty,
which l perceive with much distress;
For instance, she Is only twenty,
And one would think her even less;
While may mention 1t between US
(Excuso the confidence betray ed)-
Her form ID plagiarized from Venus,
And no acknowledgement ID made.
Her hair Is much too fine aud curly;
Her lips are merely Cupid's bow;
Her teeth, absurdly white and peariy;
But still we all have faults, you know.
