A CASE OF CHICKEN-POX
Reading edition
A mule broke out with chicken-pox—
Broke out his tent, you see,
And so exposed the other mules
That chanced around to be.
And did he spread the dire disease?
Not he, the precious scamp!
They scattered Borax everywhere
To disinfect the camp.
“A mule broke out with chicken-pox—broke out his tent, you see.”
