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.
N ’s for the Nudes that the Cubies portray,—
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.
O ’s for Objective and Optical Art,
(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.
P ’s for Picasso, Picabia and Party
(Who deal in abstractions, distractions and such.)
When, with vision chaotic and expletives hearty,

Profoundly makes answer: “In little is much.”
—P’s for Picasso, Picabia and Party.

“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.
