Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGHH IIJJBBKK LLMMNNOO| When artists wore a flowing mane | A |
| Then in a sentimental vein | A |
| With pastorals they lured the eye | B |
| Or sad sweet scenes of sea and sky | B |
| But now that hair sprouts from the face | C |
| They chuck their paint about the place | C |

| Of hirsute foam denotes some urge | E |
| Artistic that controls and sways | F |
| The hand and brain to newer ways | F |
| For instance might we not expect | G |
| An artist in dundrearies decked | G |
| In other manner to behave | H |
| From him who wore a monkey shave | H |
| - | |
| I've known but one of this quaint throng | I |
| Who wore both hair and whiskers long | I |
| But he poor bloke was short of cash | J |
| And wore a full beard and moustache | J |
| That he might draw on this supply | B |
| When price of brushes soared to high | B |
| But there are ways it seems to me | K |
| To test my novel theory | K |

| If some brave man would range the land | L |
| And catch a few of this quaint band | L |
| And hold them captive for a while | M |
| Who knows what tricks of school and style | M |
| One might evolve if to each man | N |
| We gave a different hirsute plan | N |
| You doubt perhaps But all the same | O |
| There might be money in the game | O |
