We daily read of foreign war,
OF bloodshed, and of soldiers ill;
But this is nothing to compare
With battles fought at Caswell's mills.
A lady goes down to the store
And says she needs some Petroleum,
Because she had the night before,
Received her husbands ultimatum.
But thinking his demands unjust
She thought she would usurp the right
Of stroIling out when it was dnsk,
And war commenced last Sunday night.
As in all wars both sides get beat,
All nations and all people do;
Both parties beat quick retreat,
They lost their MORO castle too.
The spoiIs of war they did divide,
And one went east the other west;
If they agree to thus abide
They both will get a needed rest.
