Jeanette has found another fad
She's joined the literary crew!
More evanescent dreams she's had
Than any girl you ever knew.
But whatsoe'er she plans to do.
No contradiction will she brook;
And she assures me it is true
That she's resolved to write q book!
Society and are sad
She scorns our favors, and in lieu
Thereof, she takes her scribbling-pad,
The path of glory to pursue:
Though from her head she cannot
screw
A plot, by any hook or crook,
Her pencil she delights to chew
For she's resolved to write a book.
III ink-splashed cambria, now, she's clad;
Her hair is plated in a queue;
Strictly sub rosa, / may add
Her stockings are Bostonian blue;
The shops, the play, the private
view
Now win from her no passing look,
Nor will she listen when / WOO,
For she's resolved to write a book
Girls, here's a splendid chance for you
To take the place Jeanette forsook;
I'm looking for a sweetheart who
Has not resolved to write a book!
