FROM THE MIRROR LITTLE WILLIE
LICKED THE MERCURY RIGHT OFF,
THINKING IN HIS CHILDISH ERROR
IT WOULD CURE HIS WHOOPING COUGH.

AT THE FUNERAL WILLIE'S MOTHER
LAUGHING SAID TO MRS. BROWN,
"TWAS A CHILLY DAY FOR WILLIE
WHEN THE MERCURY WENT DOWN."

"HA, HA, HA," SAID WILLIE'S MOTHER.
"TEE, HEE, HEE," SAID MRS. BROWN,
"TWAS A CHILLY DAY FOR WILLIE
WHEN THE MERCURY WENT DOWN."
