Thy blue-and-crimson lollipop—

Thy aimlessly meandering marble?

Thy catapult, so sure of aim,

In cold neglect, alas! reposes,

And even "tip-cat's" cherished game

No longer threatens eyes and noses;

Thy tube of tin (projecting peas)

At length has ceased from irritating;

But how much worse than all of these

Thy latest craze—for roller-skating!
