Once In August, wet and dreary, sal

While wo cotin'd them, slowly rocking,
(through our mind queer Ideas flocking)
came a quick and nervous knocking
knocking at llic smicluni door. "Sure,

Ah, woll do we remind us, In the walls

"Jenks wants to borrow tome newspojiers

knocking knocking loudrr lliuti bsfere.
And tbo tcattercd pilta of papers cut

llruulug up our patience firmvr, then!
without another murriar, "Mr. Jenks," will
we, "ynur pardon, jour forgiveness we tin

like Alexander, wonted "more 1"
Now, llil "local" hud already walked
