Our dear children gave a party, Not one grown person there; And the laughter, it was hearty, Without a servant's care. "One must," said they, "a servant be," And quick they cried, "one should." So they cast lots, did that par—ty: The lot fell on T. Good. They rang the bell, he never came; They called, he would not hear; They stamped, but it was all the same, T. Good would not appear.
