A Tale Of Two Splendid Girls

Mary Ellen MacMillan Pemberton Mimms

Knew plenty of hers and a helping of hims,

While her friend SueEllen MacFarquhar-Jones

Burgled her breakfast from well-to-do homes.

"We are really such fine girls," the two agreed,

"Splendid girls,

Fine girls indeed!"

Mary Ellen MacMillan Pemberton Mimms

Was extremely skilled in the kicking of shins,

While SueEllen MacFarquhar-Jones was known

For her cunning in running away from home.

"We are really such fine girls," quoth they, as one,

"Splendid girls!

Second to none!"

Mary Ellen MacMillan Pemberton Mimms

Said, "Is it wrong, behaving like this?"

While her friend SueEllen MacFarquhar-Jones

Said, "It can't be wrong, if nobody knows."

"We really are such fine girls," said she, to her,

"Such splendid girls!"

And it's true, they were.
