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!

Great poem that simply flows with its beat and meter. Great poem with another equally great Ella closing line. I love it when she writes this way with an in your face pay-off ending.. Simply elegant writing.
