|
Call the roller of big cigars,
|
|
The muscular one, and bid him whip
|
|
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
|
|
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
|
|
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
|
|
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
|
|
Let be be finale of seem.
|
|
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
|
|
|
|
Take from the dresser of deal.
|
|
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
|
|
On which she embroidered fantails once
|
|
And spread it so as to cover her face.
|
|
If her horny feet protrude, they come
|
|
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
|
|
Let the lamp affix its beam.
|
|
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
