Excerpt from Paper Pellets: Humorous Verse Another Pair of Sleeves Time was, not very long ago, When Mabel's walking skirt Trailed half a yard behind to show How well she swept the dirt. But "short and sweet" are in again; No more the grievance rankles, For Mabel's now curtailed her train And shows her dainty ankles. But Mabel has a thrifty mind To supplement her charms. The frills that once she wore behind She fastens on her arms. Her sleeves are made in open bags Like trousers in the navy; No more she sweeps the streets, but drags Her sleeve across the gravy.
