The Usual Way.

Thomas Winthrop Hall

Three young maidens sat in a row, With three grim dragons behind‘ em; And each of these maidens had a young beau, And they all of‘ em made‘ em mind‘ em.

These three maidens are married now; In three brown-stone fronts you'll find‘ em. But ever since the very first row They can none of‘ em make‘ em mind‘ em.
