And brilliant things to shout at club

Whene'er the lady gives chance;
And bright things. when one spills the broth
Across the cleaning table-cloth;
And epigrams about the play,
And Maupassant and Paul Bourget;
And all about the latest books,
And Kaiser Bill and cosmic crooks;
And many quick retorts I'd wish.
