PINK DOMINOES
"They are fools who kiss and tell"—
Wisely has the poet sung.
Man may hold all sort of posts
If he'll only hold his tongue.
Jenny and Me were engaged, you see
On the eve of the Fancy Ball;
So a kiss or two was nothing to you
Or any one else at all.
Jenny would go in a domino—
Pretty and pink but warm;
While I attended, clad in a splendid
Austrian uniform.
Now we had arranged, through notes exchanged
Early that afternoon,
At Number Four to waltz no more,
But to sit in the dusk and spoon.
