The Girl Of Ke-Mo
I'm a girl of Ke-Mo village Selling my rice wine on the road. Mine is the strongest rice wine in the land, Though my bottle is so patched and dirty. These silly rags are not my body, The parts you cannot see are counted pleasant; But you are just too drunk to drink my wine, And just too plain to lie down on my mat. He who would drink the wine of the girl of Ke-Mo Needs a beautiful body and a lofty wit. Song of Annam.
