While Victor Albert swings on a gate,

And munches his bacon in village state.

'Twould be hard to say there is any blame,

There is no monopoly in a name;

But it strikes one sometimes as rather absurd

That contrast between the child and the word.

And what will it be when years have flown

And these finely-named damsels are women grown?

When Evelyn Ada must polish the grates

While Edith Amelia is washing the plates.
