Poetry by Laura E. Richards

Sat by the fireside a warming of her toes.

Fat Mrs.Wobblechin with her little doublechin                           

Sat by the window a cooling of her nose.

Said this one to that one,                       

"Oh, you silly fat one,                                  

Will you shut the window down? You're freezing me to death!"

Said that one to the other one,           

"Good gracious, how you bother one.  

There isn't air enough for me to catch my precious breath!"

Skinny Mrs. Snipkin took her little pipkin                               

Threw it straight across the room as hard as she could throw. 

Hit Mrs. Wobblechin on her little doublechin                              

And out the window  a tumble she did go!
