Nell's trim buxom body, with curls thick and "doddy,"
Would strike the æsthete with a shock to-day, shock to-day.
You only see ringlets on some "poor old thing." Let's
Be kind to the passé, but primness, but primness,
With "winkle" curls shaking, is not very taking,
When linked with old-spinster-like slimness,—like slimness.
I know an "old Biddy"—her name is Miss Twiddy—
Who revels in ringlets curled carefully, carefully.
Oh how they doddle around her old noddle!
She's "songful," a taste which I share fully, share fully.
