Excerpt from The Dead Rabbit Riot, A. D. 1857: And Other Poems The Bowery Boys now intrude on their beat, The region of Mulberry Bend. From fair Doyer lane comes the tread of invaders Resplendent With red shirts, implacable raiders, Who shout their defiance with impudence, braving The wrath of the Rabbits. Oh, hear them curse raving To thunder with Mulberry Bend! From up on a roof came a voice, Quick, Mike, swat her! The chimney is seen first to tremble, then totter. Great Heaven! That yell, Oh, that ¿ash, hear the smash! The chimney is falling, great God, what a crash, Have mercy on Mulberry Bend! Rocks, splinters and brick all congested with plaster, Crash dashing, an avalanche bent on disaster. Such yelling, such cursing, such struggling yeggs! Such breaking of heads and such tearing of legs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
