Once upon May day dreary,
She was working weak and weary,
Down upon her marrows, hopping,
Mopping up the parlor floor.
While the mop went Tipping, Tapping,
Suddenly she heard a tapping,
As OF some one gently rapping,
Rapping at the parlor door.
'Tis some visitor" she muttered,
Tapping at the parlor door
Gracious Peter, what a bore!'
Up she jumped, and, nearly swearing,
Hastily began preparing
To appear as women wish to

Standing at the parlor door
