ENVY by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE

First Line: AS THE GRAVE AND THE CRADLE MET ONE DAY
Last Line: "YOUR BLANKETS AND BOTTLE ATTRACT A DOZEN!"
Subject(s): MORTALITY;

AS the Grave and the Cradle met one day,
The Grave cried out to his smiling cousin,
"Still at your tricks! Where I get six,
Your blankets and bottle attract a dozen!"
