AND ONE IS TWO? by WINIFRED VIRGINIA JACKSON

First Line: WHO CALLS? I CANNOT SAY
Last Line: AND LIVE IN THE HOUSE -- ONE WILL BUILD!
Subject(s): DEATH; RHYME; DEAD, THE;
Who calls? I cannot say,
Nor do I care -- nor care!
@3Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard
And found that the cupboard was bare.@1

The mouldering folk may call?
Ah, then, an end to songs!
Come to our wounds with cool powder and poultice,
And a gold pen to right our wrongs.

Who calls? And one is two?
The cat is dead -- was killed!
Yellow canary will sing on the coffin
And live in the house -- one will build!
