Evelyn Duclos We know you get a letter, From a boy friend every day. Within this little chest, then, You can store them all away. Paul Ferrarini We hope you’ll find this useful, Paul, To carry on a rainy night; So please accept this parachute, And trust that it is water-tight. Mary Holmes In case of another conflagration, To help you cope with the situation, And move pianos out of harm, This rope will work, at the first alarm. Lawrence Houlahan A Greek god will find it necessary To write to all our vamps; So we’ll provide the stationery, But he must buy the stamps.
