[6] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)

maiden, n.  a young person of the unfair sex addicted to clewless
conduct and views that madden to crime.  the genus has a wide
geographical distribution, being found wherever sought and deplored
wherever found.  the maiden is not altogether unpleasing to the eye,
nor without her piano and her views insupportable to the ear, though
in respect to comeliness distinctly inferior to the rainbow, and, with
regard to the part of her that is audible, bleating out of the field
by the canary -- which, also, is more portable.

    a lovelorn maiden she sat and sang --
        this quaint, sweet song sang she;
    "it's o for a youth with a football bang
        and a muscle fair to see
                the captain he
                of a team to be
    on the gridiron he shall shine,
    a monarch by right divine,
        and never to roast on it -- me"
