QUIPS
Guessing.

First asked her IL she loved me.
And she shyly hung her head.
And her cheeks took on mantle
4 OF luscious rosy red.
Then she dropped her eyes trife.
Meath her lashes darkly hid.
And she murmured In whisper
That she really guessed she did.
Then asked her would she wed me,
And her bushes came once more,
And the sigh that then she uttered
Thrilled me to the very core.
] repeated then the question,
And her answer II was good,
For the whisper that came tripping
Showed she surely guessed she would.
But, alas. she wed another
Ere the winter season went,
And I sought an explanation
What her ways fiirtatious meant.
And again there came the bushes
And the same old thrill Of pain
As she gave the same old whisper
That she guessed she'd guessed again
