| On Short stop's flower like face the look of pain | L |
| That lurks 'neath Long on's lip stick 'tis repression | K |
| That irks them temporarily but in vain | L |
| For soon or late the prisoned flood o'erflowing | H |
| Each carmined lip down thro' the land shall spill | M |
| To what far field man ne'er had means of knowing | H |
| They must not talk Sez you They must and will | M |
