JUGS that we use are chiefly made
Of stone or earthen ware;
We find them very useful, and
Must handle them with care.
But jugs are sometimes used by men,
To hold their rum or gin—
These are temptations, children dear;
Pray to be kept from sin.

KEGS, too, so useful in their way,
Are tightly made of wood;
We pack our butter and our lard
In kegs to keep them good.
Their form is homely—but if clean,
They very useful are;
The meanest household article,
Requires the nicest care.
