MY SECRET

MY SECRET
I'm fat and forty and far from fair,
All pretty women make friends with me-
Yet sometimes I win a resentful glare
For many men WOO me-watch and see
What is my secret sisters lone?
Watch my smoke-take leaf from my book'
What grace for ugliness atone?
Sisters my sisters, l can cook
Chatting dish daintes rich and brown,
That is the way 1 am known to fame
That's why my bids are not turned down.
And it isn't all smoke for there's lots OF
flame.
Sisters, so lonely, who long to be loved
Cease from your sghing-a vain pursuit
Many time has this truth been proved,
Don't ogle nor angle, but feed the brute"
