A DECISION by ARTHUR LLEWELLYN ENO

First Line: AS A MAID SO NICE
Last Line: "THIRD DOWN; TWO FEET TO GAIN."
Subject(s): HOUSEHOLD EMPLOYEES; SERVANTS; DOMESTICS; MAIDS;
AS a maid so nice,
With step precise,
Tripped o'er the ice,
She slipped; her care in vain.
And at the fall,
With usual gall,
The schoolboys call,
"Third down; two feet to gain."
