POSTER TRAGEDY
A three-sheet Dude a two weeks
All. fair was she and fond was he
And fierce was the love he made

And the Dude he pressed his suit so warm.
While the Maid she smiled so sweet
The Dude was in problem play.

Yet as though their stations ions lay so far
In social rank apart,
In the passion of his heart

Their charms before his face.
Their lips at her did CURL
But their arts were vain for he passed them by
For the burlesque Poster Girl
But she laughed and danced with her gaudy smile.
Unheeding all his signs.
Til the BIZ men came and took her down
And they put up instead a Pirate Band.
To t the watching hing crowds gTeaf Joy
They pasted a Bandit Boy.
That night the Pirates softly stole.
From their places on the sheet.
