Jean-Michelle in her B.V.D.'s,
or chili in Barbary with variation

how gay she 'pears in manifold disguises
fagged-out Brits to raise one half-surmises
they think of mink they sink a blinking dirk in
and wear down there a very hairy merkin
sad her gallant's stiff eterne and cold
sadder yet youth's wasted on the old

she bit the tip off like a cigar
and smoked it right down to ash
