Chapter XLI

I buy my clothes in high-priced shops;
My collars match my shirts;
I swing a dapper cane with ease
And ogle all the skirts.

I follow the ads in the Satevepost;
I have picked the car to buy;
I read the "Book of Etiquette,"
And "Sappho" on the sly.

A bit of my handkerchief always shows
In a pocket of my coat....
I carry a letter next to my heart
That a movie actress wrote.

I said to a lady I flirted with:
"I'm a gent!" But then she ran,
Though over her shoulder sweetly said:
"That's a third of a gentleman!"
