AN ODE TO NJ LADY o. FASHION

o woman dear, word to you
About your dress, most daring,
The low-cut neck, the high slit skirt,
The invisible socks you're wearing.
That tub of hair which doris your
knot,
Kidnapped from one that's dead,
Those gobs of paint that hide your
face,
Like Indian warriors red.
That clownish hat of charm bereft.
That hobble-skirt, most raw,
Those notwithstanding shoes you wear,
Those jewels, rare, from Arkansas.
DO tell us ma'am, if men may ask,
Where do you reason find
That you forsake the gentler ways
Of your good mother and mine :?
If mates to win be your desire,
Men worthy noblest wives,
Quit playing the Hottentot princess
And live more sensible lives.
