Her Revenge

He was not for woman's suffrage, he had stated o'er and o'er,
And he told his wife with vigor she could go to clubs no more;
Further, there should be no banners and no sashes 'round the place,
And a bunch of yellow ribbon he would call a sore disgrace.

So she stayed at home one morning, as he thought, to weep or pout,
But a little after luncheon she decided to go out,
And of course he had to help her, and well, picture him, alack!
There were Votes for Women buttons — twenty-seven — down her back!
