And combs all her front hair behind,

Not because she is proud of her forehead,

But because she's a woman of mind.

She makes me a bushel of verses,

But never a pudding or tart,

If I hint I should like one, she vows

I'm an animal merely at heart;

Though I've notic'd she spurns not the pastry,

Whene'er at a friend's we have din'd,

And has always had two plates of pudding,
