IN JULY.
BY A. S. WEBBER.
10
Ten little fire crackers
Standing in a line,
One thought he’d light a match
Then——
There were nine.
9
Nine little fire crackers
Walking very straight,
One caught an engine spark
Then——
There were eight.
8
Eight little fire crackers
Trying to spell “LEAVEN,”
One went too near the gas,
Then——
There were seven.
7
Seven little fire crackers
Cutting up tricks,
One played with lighted punk
Then——
There were six.
6
Six little fire crackers
Glad they are alive,
One went to have a smoke
Then
There were five.
