THE ORIGINAL SUMMER GIRL.

THE ORIGINAL SUMMER GIRL.
After much biologic research,
From evidence strong, l believe
That have found out,
Beyond shadow of doubt,
That the first Summer Girl was Eve.
She had unconventional ways,
She lived out of doors, and all that;
She was tanned by the sun
Until brown as bun,
For She roamed round without any hat.
To a small garden party she went,
Where the men were exceedingly few;
But she captured mate
And settled her fate,
AS often these Summer Girls do.

Now, my statement, of course, l have
proved,
But as evidence that isn't all;
A Summer Girl she
Is conceded to be
Because she stayed there till the Fall.
