III

Pansy got on at Sixteenth Street last night,

And some one flipped a handspring in my heart.

She snickered once, "Oh look, here's Mr. Smart!"

Was I there Henry Miller? guess you're right!

I did the homerun monologue as bright

As any scrub that ever learned the art.

I plum forgot the signals, "Stop" and "Start!"

And almost wrecked the car once--guess I might!

I took one Mike six blocks beyond the place

He flagged for his. He got as red as ham

And yodelled through his apopleptic face,

"I think you're dips!" I says, "I know I am--"

When Pansy starts to send a wireless wave

She simply just can't make her eyes behave!
