“Business is poor,” said the beggar;
Said the undertaker, “It’s dead;”
“Falling off,” said the riding school teacher;
The druggist, “Oh, vial,” he said.
“It’s all write with me,” said the author;
“Picking up,” said the man on the dump;
“My business is sound,” said the bandman;
Said the athlete, “I’m kept on the jump.”
