MAID of culture, ere we part,
Since we've talked of letters, art,
Science, faith, and hypnotism,
And 'most every other ism,
When you wrote, a while ago,
=Zoe mou, sas agapo,=
Let me tell you this, my dear:
Though your lettering was clear,
Though the ancient sages Greek
Would be glad to hear you speak,
They would be replete with woe
At your =mou, sas agapo=.
For, dear maiden most astute,
You have placed the mark acute
O'er omega. Take your specs.
See? It should be circumflex.
Still I love you, even though
You have written =agapo=.
