He was tattooed red, white, and blue,
He was the “Bearded Lady,” too,
Likewise the skeleton tall and thin,
And he boasted a most elastic skin:
He’d grown his feet to abnormal size,
And whitened his hair Albino wise,
So he said in language plain and bold
That when he was abandoned the day’d be cold!
Yet he was unhappy exhibiting there,
For down in his breast lurked a poignant care.
