Miss, I Cannot Sit Astride the Fence to Watch You Pass Along

An acquaintance card with a poem and an illustration. This copy of the card was pasted on a postcard in 1907. See I'm a Tailor — This is the Way I Take the Waist Measure.

 

For another version of this acquaintance card, see Will You Let Me See You Home From Church?

 

Miss

 

I cannot sit astride the fence

To watch you pass along.

It might work well in summer time,

But winter spoils the song.

Please will you let me see you home,

From church next Sunday night?

Don't mind what other people say,

Perchance you think it right.
