Taking The Lead



A fire in the Nutmeg State
     Evoked a thrilling sight;
The folks were taken unawares –
     It happened in the night.
The wife she couldn’t find her skirts
     So donned her husband’s pants;
The husband wrapped as best he could –
     It was his only chance.
This story is of no account
     As stories go, and yet
It sort of proves the woman was
     At heart a suffragette.



Dec. 11, 1912
