The Cafe Molineau is where
A dainty little minx
Serves God and man as best she can
By serving meats and drinks,
Oh, such an air the creature has.
And such a pretty face!
I took delight that autumn night
In hanging 'round the place,
I know but very little French,
I have not long been here:
But when she spoke her meaning broke
Full sweetly on my ear.
Then, too, she seemed to understand
Whate'r 1 had to say.
Though most I knew was "oony poo,
"Bong zhoor," and "zee voo play."
The female wit is always quick,
And of all womankind
lis here in France that you, perchance,
The keenest wits shall find.
And here you'll find that subtile gift,
That rare distinctive touch,
Combined with grace and form and face.
That glads men overmuch.
"Our girls at home," I mused aloud,
"Lack either that or this;
They don't combine the art divine
As does the Gallic miss.
Far be it from me to malign
Our bells across the sea.
And yet I'll swear none can compare
With this ideal She."
And then I praised her dainty foot
In very awful French,
And parleyvoed in guileful mood
Until the saucy wench
Tossed back her pretty auburn bead.
And froze me with disdain;
"There are on me no flies, said she,
"For I came from Bangor, Maine."
