Easter Chimes
Drink-drunk! Red eggs.
Drunk-drink! Red noses.
Beat-bash! Happy faces.
Bash-beat! Heaps of sausage.
Give-gave! Holiday bribes.
Gave-give! This and that.
Trim-tree! Gloved visits.
Tree-trim! Vodka and cream.
Drink-Drunk! Syrups and jellies.
Drunk-Drink! Belly aches.
Beat-bash! Back to work.
Bash-beat! Dream is over.
1909
