G. Jingle and rhyme
⑴ His horse went dead and his d went lame,
And he lost six cows in a poker game;
Then a hurricane came on a summer day,
And blew down his house when he was away!
And an earthquake came when that was gone,
And swallowed the land that the house stood on!
⑵ He that would thrive, Must rise at five.
He that has thriven, May lie till seven.
And he that by the plough would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive.
