THE PEEPER by FAIRFAX DOWNEY

First Line: ON THE FRENCH DOORS OF THE PARLOR IS A GREAT BIG CURTAIN
Last Line: (BILLY'S GOING TO FAN HIM, TOO.)
Subject(s): WINDOW TREATMENTS; WOMEN; VENETIAN BLINDS; CURTAINS; SHADES; DRAPES;
On the French doors of the parlor is a great big curtain,
Someone's back there peeping, I've a strong hunch who;
I think it's Little Brother and I'm darn near certain.
(Billy's nearly certain, too.)

We looked behind the curtain but the worm skedaddled.
Little Brothers never wait to get what's due.
If ever I catch him he'll be blame well paddled.
(Billy's going to fan him, too.)
