The Bachelor’s Prayer,
’’Backward, turn backward,G Time, in ycur flight,
Give us a maiden with skirts not sc tight,
Give us a gj.il whose charms. ma:iy or few,
Are not so exposed by much peck-a-boo,
Give us a maiden no matter what age,
vVho won't use the street as a vaudeville stage*
Give us a girl not so sharply in view,
Dress her in skirts the sun won't chine through.
Then give us the dances of days long gone by,
»Vith plenty of clothes ana fcftepr nec sc* high,
Oust turkey-trot, sapors, and bu hex- -nilk giides,
The hurdy-gurd twist, and the wiggle-tail slides.
Then let us feast untired optics once mono.
On a genuine woman,as sweet as cf yore,
Yes, lime, please tui’n backward, and grant our request,
For God e richest blessing,-but not one undressed,”
