class="hide">W ’s for Woolworth, the building so stable,
(Erected with nickels and dimes by us all,)
Which Cubies paint writhing from cellar to gable,
Distinctly resembling the Tower of Babel,
Some decades ago, just preceding its fall.
—W’s for Woolworth, the building so stable.
X is the Xit, Xtremely alluring
When Cubies invite us to study their Art;
And the Xquisite pain we are sadly enduring
The while they protest, with an air reassuring:
“Of course this is merely a diffident start!”
—X is the Xit, Xtremely alluring.
Y ’s for the Yawn overcoming each Cubie
At sight of a painting not done in his style:
“If a man doesn’t use all the colors, from ruby
To sapphire and emerald and topaz—the booby!—
To look at his canvas is not worth one’s while!”
—Y’s for the Yawn overcoming each Cubie.
Z is for Zak’s summer-time composition;
The Cubies regard his plump hills with delight.
They are somewhat fatigued after this exhibition
And tempted to slumber; so, with your permission,
We’ll tuck them in snugly and bid them goodnight.
—Z is for Zak’s summer-time composition.
