HER QUALIFICATIONS, by ROBERT A. SIMON First Line: Miss dolly doll's a devotee Last Line: In whozit's girl-and-music medley. Subject(s): Duplicity; Deceit | ||||||||
[Any press agent speaks.] Miss Dolly Doll's a devotee Of tennis, boxing, swimming, riding; You never would suspect that she So many varied gifts is hiding. She is a connoisseur of art; She could have won a name at sketching; And she produces quaint and smart Batik designs and dry-point etching. Whenever she has time to spare, She studies drama, epics, ballads. And, oh, how well she can prepare Roast chicken, creams and dainty salads! Philosophy is her delight; Her aim in foreign tongues is deadly. * * * * * * * * And she appears to-morrow night In Whozit's girl-and-music medley. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW TO KNOW LOVE FROM DECEIT by WILLIAM BLAKE TO FINE LADY WOULD-BE by BEN JONSON THE LOVE OF DECEIT by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE LINES WRITTEN IN ROUSSEAU'S LETTERS OF AN ITALIAN NUN. by GEORGE GORDON BYRON TALE: 9.
