class="verse00">(With whom all the Cubies are madly in love;)
Her manner is so prepossessing and sweet
That, if she but had them, we’d fall at her feet!
(In her eyes, what a mingling of serpent and dove!)
—M’s for Matisse’s Mam’selle Marguerite.


We willingly vouch for their perfect propriety,
Even while some we regard with dismay,—
For instance, the lady as long as Broadway:
With all due respect, we don’t crave her society!
—N’s for the Nudes that the Cubies portray.


(The kind we’ve been used to, these long years gone by,)
Which the Cubie Objects to with all of his heart:
“Make the Object Subjective,” he says, “at the start,—
Just a matter of Grammar, as easy as pie!”
—O’s for Objective and Optical Art.


(Who deal in abstractions, distractions and such.)
When, with vision chaotic and expletives hearty,
You beg of a Cubie their sense to impart, he
Profoundly makes answer: “In little is much.”
—P’s for Picasso, Picabia and Party.


When Progressive young Cubies start Art reformation.
They’re strong on Initiative, praise the Square Deal:
“Though the Cubic is best!” they aggressively squeal;
“Painting things as you see them is rank deformation!”
—Q’s for the Queerness we Stand-patters feel.
