LIMERICK by OLIVER BROOK HERFORD

First Line: THERE WAS A YOUNG MAN OF LACONIA
Last Line: THEY BURIED HER 'NEATH A BEGONIA.
Subject(s): SHOES; BOOTS; SNEAKERS; SHOEMAKERS;
There was a young man of Laconia,
Whose mother-in-law had pneumonia;
He hoped for the worst,
And after March first
They buried her 'neath a begonia.
