Explore "The Baritone" by Harry Graham on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In many a boudoir nowadays / The baritone's _decollete_ throat / Produces weird unearthly lays, / Like some dyspeptic goat / Deprived but lately of her young / (But not, alas! of either lung).
His low-necked collar fails to show / The contours of his manly chest, / Since that has fallen far below / His "fancy evening vest. " / Here, too, in picturesque relief, / Nestles his crimson handkerchief.
