Subject(s): Children; Girls; Innocence; Childhood
Peking and Heide, pekinese,
Came romping wild and free,
With kisses moist and plentiful
They wished to give to me.
Their little tongues like telescopes
I both could feel and see,
Until they left me with a rush
To go to Betty Lee.
It must have been her loveliness,
Or something that she ate
Still clinging to her pretty cheek,
Or lips so roseate.
Be that, however, as it may,
All stains were washed away,
And what the flavors were they found
Those two will never say.
