Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDCCE FFFBGGGB HIHHIJKJJK LLLLMMML| When muddled mentors take the stage | A |
| To gird against our erring | B |
| They simulate an awful rage | A |
| They funk the task and straight engage | A |
| A palpable red herring | B |
| Fearing at higher marks to aim | C |
| The futile knuckle rapper | D |
| With flaming words of bitter blame | C |
| Plays at the rather outworn game | C |
| Of 'Flagellate the Flapper ' | E |
| - | |
| Altho' my sweet you may be neat | F |
| And winsome too from head to feet | F |
| In face and form a nymph complete | F |
| In manner softly winning | B |
| One touch of powder Number Two | G |
| And heaven's gates are closed to you | G |
| Tho' still ajar for those who do | G |
| This sad world's heavy sinning | B |
| - | |
| The man whose greed outstrips his need | H |
| While lesser folk deplore it | I |
| Is due for stern rebukes indeed | H |
| Yet gently brother Why give heed | H |
| To this Be wise ignore it | I |
| For lo this fellow may be rich | J |
| Of social rank delectable | K |
| For bwetter curn the urgent itch | J |
| To censure lest you hurt him which | J |
| Would hardly be repectable | K |
| - | |
| So precious pet they'd fain forget | L |
| Sins of the mighty while they fret | L |
| O'er lip stick rouge and cigarette | L |
| And graver sinning palliate | L |
| As Public Enemy you rank | M |
| Now No for those who shrank | M |
| Ever from bigger game and thank | M |
| Their stars you can't retaliate | L |
