The Little Brother's Holiday Views.
I'd hate to be a girl With a lot of hair to curl Ever^ time 1 ever started anywhere — With a pair of stays to lace, And to keep mj clothes in place, More than forty pins to stick in here and there Xo wonder woman's slow, When she's fixing up to go — You'd be tardy, too, if you were in her place, With hooks all up your back, With a pair of brows to black, And a lot of stuff to smear upon your face. Oh, 'tis wondeiful to me, When a maiden fair I see — A maiden with a beauty that is fresh and sweet and rare' — Knowing what I do of girls, With their crimpings, puffs, and curls, That they ever manage to succeed in getting anywhe/re.
