Bacon, Peggy. POEM ABOUT ALEX. Ink on paper 11 x 8 1/2 inches. Undated and Unsigned, but clearly in Peggy Bacon's hand. Folds and some edge losses. The poem reads as follows:Dear Alex Journeys to the townNew Pleasures for to findSelects a tie of pink or brownAnd leaves his wife behind.A lovely wife is Peggy whoShould be his only joyHe beats her till she's black and blueHe is a snappy boy.O Alex has a fetching smileHe wears a hat of tweedHe twirls his cane in English styleA snappy boy indeed
