A Suggestion

    By Ella Wheeler Wilcox



    As I go and shop, sir!
    If a car I stop, sir!
        Where you chance to sit,
    And you want to read, sir!
    Never mind or heed, sir!
        I'll not care a bit.

    For it's now aesthetic
    To be quite athletic.
        That's our fad, you know.
    I can hold the strap, sir!
    And keep off your lap, sir!
        As we jolting go.

    If you read on blindly,
    I shall take it kindly,
        All the car's not mine.
    But, if you sit and stare, sir!
    At my eyes and hair, sir!
        I must draw the line.

    If the stare is meant, sir!
    For a compliment, sir!
        As we jog through town,
    Allow me to suggest, sir!
    A woman oft looks best, sir!
        When she's sitting down.
