In Memoriam*


                  

                    (Little Johnny died July 4th)

       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       July,
       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       did buy;
       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       to try.
       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       one eye.
       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       did die.
       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       come nigh.
       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       on high,
       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       and cry,
       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       good bye,
       •       •       •       •       •       •       •       July.

*Much words needless here.
