Whom do you fool, little girl, little

With your cheeks false blush ant
your hairs false curl?
Whom do you fool with your penciled
brows
And your neckless-almost waistless
blouse?
Whom do you fool with your skirts so
brief
As to bring to our mind Ewes fig tree

Do you think you have fooled the mod
ern youth?
He, too, is blase, and he knows the
truth.
Whom do you lure with your vampish
glance?
Is it age you fool7 Why there's not
chance!
Don't you know that the rouge on your
face and lips
Is as plain as the point in minstrers
quips7
Has it never occurred to your foolish
brain
That your puff and lip-stick work is
vain?
Have you never known that the You
beneath
Shines plain as day from your chemic
sheath?
There is one that you fool, little girl,
little girl;
There is one whose head you have set
awhirl.
There is one. just one, in the world
not wise
70 the work you do with your shape
and eyes.
There Is one, just one, who doesn't
