An Optical Rallad -
There was once a lovely maiden
With a wink.
Who wou and pucker up her eyelid*
In a kink:
And the menfolk* all adored her.
Though she swore they sadly bored her.
For they liked to see her wink
A witching wink—
A catching lltlle quiver a* her lashes tried
to sink.
And her eye* began to squint
With a laughing sort of glint,
While her wink expressed In slangy style
ihe message, "I don't think."
I
On a day this lovely maiden
Took her wink
To a stalely soda fountain*
For a drink.
For she was so very thirsty—
Hut the soda man—how durst he?—
Tried lo understand her wink—
Her witching w.nk—
That funny lltlle quiver when her Isfches
tried lo sink
So he asked her what she'd like.
And he added quite a "spike.”
For he couldn't pad the wlnky, bltnky
message, "1 don't think "
Since that time the lovely maiden
Does not wink.
Does not even blink her eyelids—
Not a blink
For Ihe day was one of trouble—
She was always seeing double.
And she wobbled In her wink—
That wretched wink—
That cunning little dicker which had such
a fetching shrink
She's been questioned times galore
If ahe'a winking any more.
And ehc never flUk* nn eyelid as sho
answers, "I don't think "
