MAYBE SO.
When a pair of red lips are up-turned to jour own . With no one to gossip about it, Do you pray for endurance to let them alone ? Well, maybe you do— but I doubt it. When a sly little hand you're permitted to seize, With a velvety softness about it, Do you think you can drop with never a squeeze ? Well, maybe you can— but I doubt it. When a tapering waist is in reach of your arm, With a wonderful plumpness about it, Do yo.u argue the- point 'twixt the good and the harm, . - - ' ■ Well, maybe you do— but I doubt it, ' And' if by your tricks you can capture a heart, With a womanly sweetness about it, Will you guard it, and keep it, and act the good - . ; part? Well, maybe you will^bufc T doubt it.
