John Drew

Title:     John Drew
Author: Oliver Herford [More Titles by Herford]

For Perfect Form there are but few
That can compare with Mr. Drew;
A Form most fittingly displayed
In roles from London, tailor-made
By Messrs. Maughn, Pinero, Jones,
In quiet, gentlemanly tones.
The _Nouveaux-Riches_ flock, day by day,
To learn from John how to display
(Without unnecessary gloom)
The manners of the drawing-room.
This possibly may be the cause
(Or one of them) why John Drew draws.

[The end]
