The coatless man throws a careless arm
Round the waist of the hatless girl
As over the dustlf.ss and miulless road
In a horseless carriage they whirl.
Although for lunch his coinless purse
For them affords no means
Save a tasteless meal of boneless Cod,
By the side of stringless ueans
Yet he lights a tobnccoless cigarette
And laughs a mil thles laugh .
