The Protected Sex

_With apologies to James Whitcomb Riley_.

("The result of taking second place to girls at school is that the boy feels a sense of inferiority that he is never afterward able entirely to shake off."
--_Editorial in London Globe against co-education_.)

There, little girl, don't read,
You're fond of your books, I know,
But Brother might mope
If he had no hope
Of getting ahead of you.
It's dull for a boy who cannot lead.
There, little girl, don't read.

[The end]
Alice Duer Miller's poem: Protected Sex
