You perished, so you did,
For my Sweet. The fairy stitching gleams On the sides, and in the seams, And reveals That the Pixies were the wags Who tipped these funny tags, And these heels. What soles to charm an elf! - Had Crusoe, sick of self, Chanced to view One printed near the tide, O, how hard he would have tried For the two! For Gerry's debonair, And innocent and fair As a rose; She's an Angel in a frock, - She's an Angel with a clock To her hose! The simpletons who squeeze Their pretty toes to please Mandarins, Would positively flinch From venturing to pinch Geraldine's. |
