Show WEIGHT FOR AGE. lM At fourteen year let us begin H The epithets applied to Peggy: H Since she, in truth, was somewhat H thin, They called her "leggy." Although"" she'd scarcely gained In H weight, H The youths, all eager to attend her, H At twenty, curious to relate, Said she was "slender." H At twenty-five she weighed no more; H Her figure the reverse of "pillowy;" H Yet her admirers, by the score, H Said she was "willowy." At thirty-five, no thinner grown, H Because nhe had not got more H brawny, JH They said she was "all skin and S bone, ' S And called her "scrawny." 1H |
