A lotion, madam, for your eyes? Oh, certainly, come this way, / please. You'll use this one if you are wise. Its chief ingredients / are these: Ten drops of rain, ten drops of dew, a most refreshing, / cooling brew, mixed by a scented breeze. And next? A face cream? / Come this way. Now, here is one I recommend. It can work wonders in / a day, yet quite an inexpensive blend. One ounce of laughter, smiles / and twinkles. 'Tis guaranteed to smooth out wrinkles. I thank you, / madam. Take or send? For jaded nerves? A recipe? I've this that / all my clients heed. A draught of wholesome sympathy for someone / else's urgent need; forgetfulness of your own cares by thinking of / world brotherhood -- though you may find a few grey hairs you'll also / find that life is good. Good morning, madam. This way, please. No, / naught to pay for things like these.
