Col. D. Streamer.
MISFORTUNES NEVER COME SINGLY
Making toast at the fireside,
Nurse fell in the grate and died;
And, what makes it ten times worse,
All the toast was burned with Nurse.
Col. D. Streamer.
AUNT ELIZA
In the drinking-well
(Which the plumber built her)
Aunt Eliza fell,—
We must buy a filter.
Col. D. Streamer.
SUSAN
Susan poisoned her grandmother's tea;
Grandmamma died in agonee.
Susan's papa was greatly vexed,
And he said to Susan, "My dear, what next?"
