A lion has a mane and a very fine mane, The peacock has a perfect knockout of a train. Both of them look as if they're rather vain -- They get no envy from me. Oh, blah with "woman's crowning glory!" I'll leave all that to song and story. I'm boyish bobbed and I'm not sorry. No long tresses for me. The peacock's train some folks may please. My skirts don't flutter in the breeze; When I sit down I show my knees, And that's the style for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OF MY DEAR SON [GERVASE BEAUMONT] by JOHN BEAUMONT AFTER WINTER by STERLING ALLEN BROWN THE SPARROW by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR GROWN-UP by EDNA ST.
