A Hundred and One More (Men o' the Cloth & Material Girls)

Soon Le Textile Musée 

once more open'd will be.

     Soon they'll've hung their new show, 

call'd it "Men o' the Cloth."

     Will it "must see" be...? Oui! 

Plus, entrées will be free.

     Nor'll be any unwelcome – 

unless they're a moth.
