A “Street Incident”

        

    “Have you fallen in the river?”
    Asked my good friend all a-quiver,
“Where the water was so muddy, and by some miracle been saved?”
                      “No, I’ve fallen in no river,”        
                      Said I to him, in a shiver,      
“I’ve merely walked through Cambridge where the sidewalks weren’t paved.”

Jan. 22, 1895
