RHYMES TO REMEMBER.

The Dishwashing Game.
On Monday, before ! go to school,
l wash the dlshes--itss mother rule
So Bridget can sort the clothes
To help me get them quickly done,
I've made up a game that's lot OF fun
And here is the way it goes
The forks are voyagers, and their
wives
Are the tablespoons and the silver
knives;
The teaspoons are babies wee;
Each platter. saucer and cups boat,
In which from the dishpan fort thay
float
They're shipwrecked when out at
The soapsuds breakers dash fierce aud
high,
But all hands are saved and rubbed
till dry:
The wrecks are towed IN 10 shore.
In closet harbor they safely stay
Till, sailing on another day
They braveiy embark once more.
And washing dishes In this way
Is nothing but fun. And I always say,
And mother agrees with me.
IF works on hand, it's a splendid
plan
To do It the jolliest way you can"
Just try 1t yourself and see.
