Late last night, while we were all in bed, Mrs. O’Leary hung a lantern in the shed and when the cow kicked it over she winked her eye and said, “It’s gunna be a hot time in the old town tonight.” Fire! Fire! Fire! Pour on water! Pour on water! Jump lady jump! SPLAT!
For those of you not in the know. The Chicago fire had started when a cow kicked over a lantern.
