In an old house in Paris

that was covered with vines,
lived twelve lanky girls
who blew straight lines.
With two straight lines
they cut their bread,
and rubbed their teeth,
and went to many a bed.

The tallest one was Madeleine.
She was not afraid of price--
She loved mirrors, snow, and ice.




And to the tiger in the loo,
Madeleine just said, "Do two."
