THEN AND NOW
Our maids were modest, sweet and shy. In days gone oy. No dresses short or tight were found. They swept the ground. They swept the ground. They did not drink or swear or smoke Or crack a joke, And Mary had, like Jane and Pam, A little lamb.

And this goes on her epitaph: “She had a calf.”
