Eight sittings

Eight sittings, all in all, she had,
 From different angles, too,
Before the maid was satisfied,
 And felt the job was through.
 Perhaps you think a photograph
 Was what she had in mind,
Or, better still, a portrait new
 Some artist had designed.
But that is not the proper thought,
 Events now indicate,
Because the sittings all were made
 In learning how to skate.
