“The Dames of the Primrose League have adopted a very becoming uniform of Blue Serge trimmed with primroses”. Ladies Paper

EPIGRAM

The Primrose League Dames have donned Uniform BLUE
Trimmed with primroses – pretty enough –
More successful they’d be, if in canvassing you
They simply appeared in – the BUFF
BLUE and BUFF

This poem appeared in the Isle of Wight Times, November 11. 1885
