Heute ist es schönes Wetter!
Charmé de vous voir ici!
Never saw you looking better!"

Maria just sat by and smiled -
I almost could have slapped the child!
Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless Homes (1899)

kept evolving aeroplanes,
fell from an enormous height
upon my garden lawn last night.
Flying is a fatal sport,
uncle wrecked the tennis court.

Billy, in one of his nice new sashes,
Fell in the fire and was burnt to ashes;
Now, although the room grows chilly,
I haven't the heart to poke poor Billy.
