Inscriptions | In black ink, top center of sheet: Away deep Down, so Awful Deep, / In the Ocean, where the Lobsters creep; / Where the water's awful Dark and Green, / And hardly Anything can be seen; / Are funny fish, who carry alamp, / How it stays lighted in the damp, / I do not know - But it's on their heads; / They use it to light them to their beds. |
