Slippery Weather

I havo a story sad to teil, A tale to grieve your car ; It happened only yesterday, Just round the córner hre. XJpon the ice my foot did slip. And I íell down and cut my lip. But that's not all I have to teil, Pathetic though it be; A diré niiefortuno happened to The friend who was wtth me, Her fcet got tangled in íny clotheg, And 8he íell down and hroke her nose. My husband rushed acroRS tho street To pick his loved one up, But worse inisfortuno greeted him, He slipped upon a cup, And rescuing his wlfe from harm Alas ! he fell and bruke bis aiin. Two worknien on the other side, Our troubles chanced to see, And botli of theru carne running up As fast as faat conld be ; But one man stuinbled o'er a kcg And he feil down and broke lus leg. The other met affliction woroe. Than cut or broken limb, n A eorer far calamity Did happen unto him. They took him frem the ground half dead, Por he fell dowxi and broke his head. roliecman round the corner runs With pity in hifi eyes, And of our sbipwrecked company To make a rescue tries ; Only to meet compluter Teck For he feil down and broke his neck. There is a moral to my tale ; I'm sure you'd never Ruess The wisdom and the good advice My story doth expresa : If yoti would keep your limbs together, Stay in the house in slippery weather.
