A Parody Anthology

by Unknown

F. P. Doveton.

IF I SHOULD DIE TO-NIGHT

IF I should die to-night

And you should come to my cold corpse and say,

Weeping and heartsick o'er my lifeless clay—

If I should die to-night,

And you should come in deepest grief and woe—

And say: "Here's that ten dollars that I owe,"

I might arise in my large white cravat
