The Beauty and the Dude

A FRESH sweet-scented beauty
  Came tripping down the street;
She was as fair a vision
  As you might chance to meet.
A masher raised his cady
  (I don’t want to be rude)
He raised it to the lady—
  That fresh sweet-scented dude.

They met and talked and simpered
  And giggled in the street;
They were as bright a vision
  As you might wish to meet.
I don’t know what they’re good for,
  But don’t want to be rude
To the fair sweet-scented beauty
  Or the well-upholstered dude.
