Howbeit The Doe - Eyes Harlem Twink Is A Perennial Flower
By G.R. Tomaini
Who Jaunts Past ? We All Know —
Surely The Recurrent Spring —
Whose Youth Shall Never Fade !
That Son Of A British Lord —
Not Some Pembroke Critter —
A Parliamentarian - To - Be !
Yet In Harlem He Resides —
Blonde In The Worst Possible Way ;
He Has His Own Damn Addy !
Doe - Eyes Of A Diamond Fawn :
You Could And Will Never Age!
Give Me Your Perennial Kiss !
Hark ! The Doe - Eyes Harlem Twink !
Whose Body Is A National Landmark !
Elect Me Your Prime Minister . . .
