Roderick, I, and James;

But Jim caught his jacket upon a tack,

And I burst the buttons all off my back,

And Roderick called us names.

Then we found a pillow that had a rip,

And all the feathers we out did slip—

Roderick, James, and I.

And we made a snowstorm, a glorious one,

All over the room. O wasn’t it fun,

As the feathery flakes did fly!
