CURTAIN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Villain shows his indiscretion
Last Line: Villain skips, and all are happy.
Subject(s): Theater & Theaters; Stage Life


VILLAIN shows his indiscretion,
Villain's partner makes confession.
Juvenile, with golden tresses,
Finds her pa and dons long dresses.
Scapegrace comes home money-laden,
Hero comforts tearful maiden,
Soubrette marries loyal chappie,
Villain skips, and all are happy.
