Matilda Maud Mackenzie frankly hadn't any chin	A
Her hands were rough her feet she turned invariably in	A
Her general form was German	B
By which I mean that you	C
Her waist could not determine	B
To within a foot or two	C
And not only did she stammer	D
But she used the kind of grammar	D
That is called for sake of euphony askew	C
	-
From what I say about her don't imagine I desire	D
A prejudice against this worthy creature to inspire	E
She was willing she was active	F
She was sober she was kind	G
But she never looked attractive	F
And she hadn't any mind	G
I knew her more than slightly	H
And I treated her politely	H
When I met her but of course I wasn't blind	G
	-
Matilda Maud Mackenzie had a habit that was droll	I
She spent her morning seated on a rock or on a knoll	I
And threw with much composure	D
A smallish rubber ball	J
At an inoffensive osier	D
By a little waterfall	J
But Matilda's way of throwing	K
Was like other people's mowing	K
And she never hit the willow tree at all	J
	-
One day as Miss Mackenzie with uncommon ardor tried	L
To hit the mark the missile flew exceptionally wide	L
And before her eyes astounded	M
On a fallen maple's trunk	N
Ricochetted and rebounded	M
In the rivulet and sunk	N
Matilda greatly frightened	O
In her grammar unenlightened	O
Remarked Well now I ast yer Who'd 'er thunk	P
	-
But what a marvel followed From the pool at once there rose	Q
A frog the sphere of rubber balanced deftly on his nose	Q
He beheld her fright and frenzy	H
And her panic to dispel	R
On his knee by Miss Mackenzie	H
He obsequiously fell	R
With quite as much decorum	S
As a speaker in a forum	S
He started in his history to tell	R
	-
Fair maid he said I beg you do not hesitate or wince	T
If you'll promise that you'll wed me I'll at once become a prince	T
For a fairy old and vicious	U
An enchantment round me spun	B
Then he looked up unsuspicious	U
And he saw what he had won	B
And in terms of sad reproach he	H
Made some comments sotto voce	U
	-
Which the publishers have bidden me to shun	B
	-
Matilda Maud Mackenzie said as if she meant to scold	V
I never Why you forward thing Now ain't you awful bold	V
Just a glance he paused to give her	D
And his head was seen to clutch	W
Then he darted to the river	D
And he dived to beat the Dutch	W
While the wrathful maiden panted	M
I don't think he was enchanted	M
And he really didn't look it overmuch	W
	-
	-
The Moral In one's language one conservative should be	H
Speech is silver and it never should be free	H
