That’s why I like a woman wearing furs.

EXCUSE ME, MUSE

’Tis not the hour to sing of pink-hued vapors

So softly sailing under azure skies;

Nor of the shadow warm and so mysterious

Cast by the lashes of a woman’s eyes.

’Tis not the time for soft euphonious sighing

And holding converse with pale lunar light.

’Tis not the hour for musing and for dreaming,

Excuse me, Muse, I must go out and fight.
