The Rich arrived in pairs And also in Rolls Royces; They talked of their affairs In loud and strident voices... The Poor arrived in Fords, Whose features they resembled; They laughed to see so many Lords And Ladies all assembled.

The Microbe is so very small/ You cannot make him out at all,/ But many sanguine people hope/ To see him through a microscope.
