  1. (continued from previous page)
    'Twas like a ship without a belt,
    When the ship began to sail,
    'Twas like a bird without a tail,
    When the bird began to fly,
    'Twas like a needle in the sky,
    When the sky began to fall,
    The Lord have mercy on us all.
    John Barrett.

  2. A story and a story and a story is true
    An old man died and his belly got blue.
    Donald Burke.
    Jack the brat would eat no fat
    And his wife would eat no lean,
    Between them both, they skinned the goat,
    and licked the dishes clean.
    Donald Burke.
