RICHES

A rusty nail, a bit of string, Keys that won’t fit anything, A spinning-top, a piece of chalk, Peppermints, a broken cork, A jew’s-harp, and a postage stamp, A wick that once burned in a lamp, Shotgun pellets, two cents in cash, One-half of a false - moustache, A broken knife, a piece of wax, Two bullets, and a carpet tack— These things, together with a rag, A ring, a comb, a little tag, Rubber bands, an empty locket, I found in Dicky’s little pocket!
