CREST IN THE KITCHEN, by ALBERT EISELE First Line: There goes his glass! A rag, a rag Last Line: A new one comes tomorrow. Subject(s): Floods | ||||||||
There goes his glass! A rag, a rag, Or soon we'll all be drowning! I knew that he would spill his milk With all his frisky clowning. Just wait, young man, I'll get the stick And I'll apply it heavy -- Watch out, mama, do hold up there And form an oilcloth levee! My plate's marooned; the sugar bowl's A refugee in sorrow -- The flood recedes. But what's the use, A new one comes tomorrow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HIGH TIDE AT [OR, ON THE COAST OF] LINCOLNSHIRE by JEAN INGELOW THE SURF by JURGIS BALTRUSHAITIS UNDER THE WHARF by IDA COLE BARTLATT THE COMET by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES THE SECRET OF THE WATERFALL by WILLIAM ROSE BENET TO LADY AUSTEN, WRITTEN IN RAINY WEATHER by WILLIAM COWPER THE RIGHT TO GRIEF by CARL SANDBURG |
