If I should die to-night
And you should come in deepest grief and woe—
And say:—"Here's that ten dollars that I owe,"
I might arise in my large white cravat
And say, "What's that?"

Parody on: "If I should die to-night,
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting-place,
And deem that death had left it almost fair", Belle E. Smith
