CREST IN THE KITCHEN by ALBERT EISELE

First Line: THERE GOES HIS GLASS! A RAG, A RAG
Last Line: A NEW ONE COMES TOMORROW.
Subject(s): FLOODS;

There goes his glass! A rag, a rag,
Or soon we'll all be drowning!
I knew that he would spill his milk
With all his frisky clowning.

Just wait, young man, I'll get the stick
And I'll apply it heavy --
Watch out, mama, do hold up there
And form an oilcloth levee!

My plate's marooned; the sugar bowl's
A refugee in sorrow --
The flood recedes. But what's the use,
A new one comes tomorrow.
