n Sister Nellie, too. A PIEBALD TRIP The other night I ate some pie, And when I went to bedI tumbled down a flight of steps, And landed on my head. The ground gave way and let me through,The wind rushed past my ears; I plunged into a boiling sea,And sunk for nineteen years. At last when nearly out… … ON, ON I FLEW, AND CLOSE BEHINDA DRAGON SNAPPED HIS JAWS A Piebald Trip A comet suddenly appeared, I shot across its tail,And scared the salamanders so They turned from red to pale. A sufferer from prickly heat,I, scratching, onward sped, But caught by chance a shooting-star,And landed in my bed.
