Satire on the Brothers Fay
O, there are two brothers, the Fays, Who are excellent players of plays, And, needless to mention, all Most unconventional, Filling the world with amaze. But I angered these brothers, the Fays, Whose ways are conventional ways, For I lay in my urine While ladies so pure in White petticoats ravished my gaze.
June 1904
