English poem
Fannie'S Curling-Tongs
by Albert Bigelow Paine (1861–1937)
These are the irons with which Fannie crimps Her fair auburn tresses whenever she primps. She curls and arranges her locks with great care, Because she is proud of her radiant hair.
THE BEARS AND THE HARLEQUINS.
Gay harlequins dancing--beribboned are they And carry two poles in the air; That rest on their heads in a curious way, And top of each pole is a bear, I declare, A wonderful, long-tailed bear.
