To show the downward trend of "plastic art."
The outline should be slack,
Slippy-sloppy, front and back,
Till bodice, skirt and tunic—every stitch—
Seems to call for the support
Of the handy-man's resort—
That naval gesture termed the "double hitch."
The shoulders must be drooping.
The knees a trifle stooping,
And the widest waist, remember, takes the prize;
