They have woman in Kensington who
cannot speak without rhyming. The rhy-
ming mania seized her after fit of sick
ness. 1t is something like this
It would give me, Matilda. enormous relief
If you'd cook these potatoes and beans with the
beef.
Or this:
Mary Jane, go right up stairs and swe ep, and
make my bed
And do it quickly, too, dye hear, or else III
punch your head.
Or this:
You Johnny, if you tear your pants,
I'll fog you till make you dance.
Or this:
Alphonso, you are eating now your fifteenth
buckwheat cake :!
The next thing you'll be bowling with dreadful
stomach ache.
Or this
Louisa, put your hustle on, and get your wooden
shawl.
And come with me to Ferguson's to make little
call
Tt makes no difference my child what bonnet
you may wear, :.
But for gracious sake, Louisa take comb ana
