- a Candied Pout -

Upon  her  face  hangs  a  pout,
Which  under  her  philtrum  she  wears  so  pink.
Not that  she  wills  to  show  sulkiness,
But to  send  a  flirtatious  invitation,
And  inveigle  mine  to  repose  on  her  rosy  bight.
A fool he  who  ignores  a  pout  and  a  wink.
Never  could  I resist the  beams  of  her  comeliness;
To kiss  me  and  erase  the  pout  is her  intention.
