Show The Calamity. All at once the street car sort o' hopped, And then, with a jolt and bump, it stopped, For another car was just ahead, As motionless as if 'twere dead; Another car was ahead of that, Two men inside, one lean, one fat; And ahead of that was another car, With one lone man of the G. A. R.; Another car was ahead of that, In which a sleeping copper sat; And another car ahead of that Was empty as a looted flat. Ahead of that was another car. And ahead of that another car, And ahead of that another car, And ahead of that another car; And another car ahead of that, And another car ahead of that, And another car ahead of that; And other cars ahead of those, And f v more cars ahead of those, And d of those were others still, And si ling ahead were others still; While eaca .as silent as the tomb, And a veritable cave of gloom; For a wagon filled with soft-coal slack Had broken on the railroad track.
