For his enormous limusine,
And ponders further child_enslavement
And other projects still more mean.

And hopes the boy will not resist
When he attempts to practise vices
Few people even know exist

The Quarry, fleeing from the outing,
Sinks panting in the reeds and mud;
And hearkens to the distant shouting
That tells him the are out for blood.

The Resurrectionist goes plying
Without ado his simple trade;
Material is always dying
And got with nothing but a spade.

The Suicide, as she is falling,
Illuminated by the moon,
Regrets her act, and finds appalling

While slowly night gives way to dawn;
He finds a certain fascination
In knowing all the trains are gone.

plage When they answered the door on that wild winter night/
There was no one expected, and no one in sight

All at onece it lept down and ran in to the hall/
Where it chose to remain with its nose to the wall

It was seemingly deaf to all that they said/
So at last they stopped screaming and went off to bed

In the morning it joined them and presently ate/
all the toast and the syrup and a part of a plate

It wrenched off the horn of the new gramaphone/
And could not be persuaded to leave it alone
