As mad as dog with tongue out.
Those novelties! The newest kind—
With turned up nose and weird, slee-
-py eyes, that told of vacant mind,
And monstrous chignon massed behind—
Were those appalling things designed
By Mr. Aubrey Beardsley.
Yes, "things"; for nought of human shape,
However strangely bizarre,
Is there portrayed; there's not an ape,
