THREE OLD LADIES.
There was an old lady all dressed in silk, Who lived on lemons and buttermilk ; And thinking the world a sour old place, She carried its acid all over her face. Another old lady all dressed in patches, Lived on nothing but lucifer matches; So the world it made her strangle and cough, And sure as you rubbed her you set her off. Another old lady all sunny and neat, Who lived upon sugar and everything
sweet, Exclaimed when she heard of i their troubles: "I never! For the world is so nice I could live on for ever."
