Streets have been slippery in some places:
A maiden fair, with sunkissed hair,
came tripping down the street,
her face serene, her age eighteen.
Gee whiz! but she was sweet.
On the sidewalk slick, she came down quick,
with a jolt that shook her curls
but the words she used must be excused --
for she's one of our nicest girls.
