With badinage and repartee,
And humor quaint or bold,
And stories that are stories,
Not several æons old;
With parody and nondescript,
Burlesque and satire keen,
And irony and playful jest,
So that it may be seen
That women are not quite so dull:
We come—a merry throng;
Yes, we're coming to the rescue,
And just a hundred strong.
Kate Sanborn.
