Jessie Pope - Another Pair of Sleeves
Work rating: Low

TIME was, not very long ago, 
When Mabel`s walking skirt 
Trailed half a yard behind to show 
How well she swept the dirt. 
But "short and sweet" are in again ; 
No more the grievance rankles, 
For Mabel`s now curtailed her train 
And shows her dainty ankles. 

But Mabel has a thrifty mind 
To supplement her charms. 
The frills that once she wore behind 
She fastens on her arms. 
Her sleeves are made in open bags 
Like trousers in the navy ; 
No more she sweeps the streets, but drags 
Her sleeve across the gravy.
