Concerning Priscilla.
Priscilla knows a clever scheme To bring the mon folk to her side. She drives them single or in team: For reins, her apron-strings, well tied. The other girls might sit an hour In pensive attitude and pose; But what’s the use? They lack the power Priscilla knows.
Priscilla knows when she should talk, And then, again, when smiles go best. She never wants to take a walk When you are tired and would rest; But. best of all (this is the most Delightful thing to all her beaux). Just how to listen, while they boast Priscilla knows.
Priscilla knows this thoroughly. And practises it both night and day; Yet when she tries that trick on me The tables turn the other way. You see, I know Priscilla’s plan, And so I make her talk which shows I’m really qul?e the nicest man Priscilla knows.
Jack Appleton.
