SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1937. Volume 8. Number 2.

In the Looking-Glass

In the Looking-Glass

This woman's husband is fat

And he sweats out of every pore,

But his money has made her an elegant rat

And has opened society's door.

That woman married a stoat

But she wears a chinchilla fur,

For the money he makes on the tote,

He cunningly spends on her.

This woman's husband is rich

But he also gets drunk on beer

So her drawing-room smile is sich

That it hides her bourgeois fear.

Those women all cherish a pact

With lizards who sneer at a wife.

But each of these women in fact.

Has a husband to darken her life.

—E.M.B.
