Once in the fashion, but now obsolete,
Banished forever with grim actuality.

—R is for Reason and poor old Reality.
S is for Schamberg’s fair dame at her ’phone,Conversing with G. Stein, the Futurist scribe.
The Cubies, eavesdropping, hear Gertrude bemoan:
“This one feeling many far seeming alone,
The bluer the bliss the redder the bribe!”
—S is for Schamberg’s fair dame at her ’phone.
T ’s for the Type of Tree Chabaud’s erected.The Cubies insist it’s as useful as fair
For a game that they play when they’re feeling dejected,
(A use which not every one would have detected,)
Lassoing the branches with rings of their hair.
—T’s for the Type of Tree Chabaud’s erected.
U ’s for the Union so Utterly UselessUniting the members that make up the whole.
Against it the Cubies wage war that is truceless:
“Such rage for convention,” they cry, “is excuseless!
Away with cohesion, and set free the Soul!”
—U’s for the Union so Utterly Useless.
V is for Villon’s musicianly lady(With charm evanescent and Visage remote.)

Account for his hit with the Cubes. I’m afraid he
Will spoil them completely for plain table d’hôte.
—V is for Villon’s musicianly lady.
