Classic Poem

The Shower Bath

Quoth Dermot (a lodger at Mrs. O'Flynn's,)
" How queerly my shower bath feels!
It shocks like a posse of needles and pins,
Or a shoal of electrical eels.

Quoth Murphy, " Then mend it, and I'll tell you how:
It's all your own fault, my good fellow:
I used to be bother'd as you are, but now
I'm wiser — I take my umbrella. " English
