A FLIRTATION ON THE CARS, by                    
First Line: I did not even know her name
Last Line: I'm free years old!
Subject(s): Chicago


I DID not even know her name,
Nor where she lived, nor whence she came --
'Twas sad, and yet
Was I so very much to blame,
That all my heart should start to flame,
And flare and fret?

She was so sweet, so passing fair,
With such a smile, with such an air --
What could I do?
A glance as shy, as debonair,
An eye as bright, a smile as rare,
I never knew!

And so I smiled across the aisle,
And met the winsome, merry smile
She sent so bold;
At last she laughed, then after while
She cooed aloud in friendly style,
"I'm free years old!"
