- Louis S. Schafer -
(In memory of a young lady who was
killed in one of America's earliest 20th
century traffic mishaps:)
"The manner of her death was thus
She was druv over by a bus."

"This is what I expected but
not so soon.

"Mary Anne has gone to rest,
Safe at last on Abraham's breast,
Which may be nuts for Mary Anne,
But is certainly rough on Abraham."
