Rebecca Who Slammed Doors for Fun and Perished Miserably

A trick that everyone

In little girls is slamming doors.

A wealthy banker's little

Who lived in Palace Green,

Bayswater(By name Rebecca Offendort),

Was given to this furious sport.

She would deliberately

And slam the door like billy-o!

To make her Uncle Jacob start.

She was not really bad at heart,

But only rather rude and wild;

She was an aggravating child…It happened that a marble

Of Abraham was standing

Above the door this little

Had carefully prepared to slam,

And down it came!

It knocked her flat!

It laid her out!

She looked like that.

Her funeral sermon (which was

And followed by a sacred song)Mentioned her virtues, it is true,

But dwelt upon her vices too,

And showed the dreadful end of

Who goes and slams the door for fun.

The children who were brought to

The awful tale from far and

Were much impressed, and inly

They never more would slam the door,— As often they had done before.
