Haply I order apple pie, But NOT your counsel or advice; You rub your hands and tell me: "Why, The mince is very nice." You hide my hat, you hide my coat. Let others, if they care to, give, But as to this here gentle pote-- Be glad he lets you live. IV TO THE APARTMENT HOUSE TELEPHONE GIRL Proud, imperious female person That presideth o'er my 'phone, Hearken while I do some verse on Thee, and thee alone. Puffed and pompadoured and ratted, Reading _Munsey's_ all the day, Pony-coated, otter-hatted-- Listen to my lay: When I beg in desperation, "Eight O Seven Riverside," Why do I get "Information"? |
