My brother, whom you may have seen,

Possessed a limp, a very slight one;

His leg, the left, had always been

Much shorter than the right one;

But Mrs. Eddy came his way,

And ... well, just look at him to-day!

At healing she had grown so deft

That when she finished with my brother,

His crippled leg, I mean the left,

Was longer than the other!
