Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Camouflage

Camouflage is all the rage.
Ladies in their fight with age--
Soldiers in their fight with foes--
Demagogues who mask and pose
In the guise of statesmen--girls
Black of eyes with golden curls--

Politicians, votes in mind,
Smiling, affable and kind,
All use camouflage to-day.
As you go upon your way,
Walk with caution, move with care;
Camouflage is everywhere!
