I am looking for a poem that I think is entitled "My Sister's Best Beau" It was recited by my great grandmother who learned it in elocution classes in the early 1900s.
the story is that a "best beau" has come to visit and before the sister comes down, the younger sister describes the beau as a big, brawny man who is putty in his sister's hand. It references her lacy hanky and how she acts like the helpless lady while being attended to by the beau.
It is not the one that is entitled "My Sister's Beau" that is sort of the same subject matter.
any help would be appreciated.
