She poses in languorous fashion,
THIS maiden of rapturous age
A beauty not pulSeless of passion
But born just to brighten the page.
Her posture IS piquant and pretty,
Her smile is put on to allure;
She's not a disciple of Goethe,
Nor any blue stocking" I'm sure.
Her form is suggestive of Paris,
AS you cannot find fault with her clothes
And, so long as her beauty so rare is,
Who cares how little she knows?
She uses her charm and her graces
To boom some ones fixtures or wares;
Since, for maidens with sOrcerous faces,
The whole world eternally cares.
Like Stylites, on top of column"
Or holding control of the page,
One would think she'd get sulky or solemn
OR else oVertaken by age.
Yet this siren smiles on undeiected.
AS if Earth had no troubles or ills:

If you only use Somebody's Pills.
