Jessie Pope - Crumbs of Comfort Jessie Pope - Crumbs of Comfort
Work rating: Low


When Gladys comes a whisper wakes, A sudden thrill prevails, She holds the eyes of men, and takes The wind out of our sails. In spite of every art we use, Their bosoms she transfixes, And yet I`m glad to know her shoes Are unromantic sixes. The frocks that Leonora wears Are absolutely sweet, She practices such Frenchy airs It`s hopeless to compete. Her lace is fine, her silks are thick, Her sables make one sicken ; And yet, though Leonora`s chic, She`s certainly no chicken. Diana has a sporting bent And not a little side, She`s hot upon a screamin` scent And knows the way to ride. Her doggy tendencies would please A print like Mr. Strachey`s, But, though she drops her final G`s, Her father drops his H`s.
