THE KNEE - BAND SKIRT
Lovely lady, as you wobble . In your new knee-banded skirt— E’en as if you wore a hobble—' Does it hurt? Does it never make you worry. Never cramp or hamper your What, when you are in a hurry, Do you do? Gentle lady, when you wear It Where you have to jump or slide. Do you never long, to tear .it Ini the side? . Often have I wondered whether If it were the latest fad To bind women's feet together. You'd be glad? If Dams Fashion, some day, slated That two legs were not good style, Would you have one amputated For a while? Pretty lady, you’re a blessing To mankind, upon my word ; But you have a way of dressing That's absurd.
