Will Maud ever return to the garden?
Does Algernon wait at the door?
When will Ivy slip back into favour
To be constant and true once more?
Will Marmaduke, Augustus and Bertha return
With Albert and Clarrie again?
Or will they be doomed forever to be
Left out of the name-giving chain?
Alice has made it, and Sarah and Jane,
Emma and Emily too;
Are Florence and Martha now on their way
Together with Cyril and Sue?
Oh Florrie and Ada, Archie and Winnie!
Fashion is so unfair,
How can you ever hope to compete
With Kylie and Sharon and Claire? |
