Title:     Unshackled Thoughts On Chivalry, Romance, Adventure, Etc.
Author: Franklin P. Adams [More Titles by Adams]

Yesterday afternoon, while I was
walking on Worth Street,
A gust of wind blew my hat off.
I swore, petulantly, but somewhat noisily.
A young woman had been near, walking behind me;
She must have heard me, I thought.
And I was ashamed, and embarrassedly sorry.
So I said to her: "If you heard me, I beg your pardon."
But she gave me a frightened look
And ran across the street,
Seeking a policeman.
So I thought, Why waste five hours trying to versify the incident?
Vers libre would serve her right.

[The end]
Franklin P. Adams's poem: Unshackled Thoughts On Chivalry, Romance, Adventure, Etc.
