Climbed over a ten rail, eight foot fence

And stowed a Melon beneath each vest.

Three little colics appeared that night

And tackled the cherubs three—

Oh, the groan, the pain, the misery,

The cramp, the gripe, and the inward hurt,

The fate that doctors couldn’t avert,

Three Undertakers at morning’s light.

Let Melons go sailing everywhere

And women are born to weep,
