AN AUGUST WHIRL.
There is a lady in our town,
For excellent housekeeping she's won re-
nOWn.
Her Monday cloths to whiten and dry
She put on the grass meath the clear August

Each bush and tree in that part of the town
Looked as if flock Of large white birds
Had carried those clothes Off without any

To gather the clothes from the fir trees
