“Meet my little sister Phyllis,

Come and dance a fox-trot with her.”

Rather bored felt Tiadatha,

Thinking how he’d asked to supper

Cloe Goldilocks of Daly’s,

Bored until he saw this Phyllis,

Heard his friend say, “Here’s my sister;

Phyllis, this is Tiadatha.”

Fair was she and slim and slender,

Like an April day her eyes were,
