When Sally was crossing a bridge
A polecat came down from a ridge
She said "Oh, a kitty!
Its white stripe is so pretty!"

But last night, at the dance,
When his heel caught his pants,
Like Humpty, he had a great fall.

The ladies all gasped in dismay,
as to the floor went his toupee.

And yet, in my mind,
It sounded refined
