I is for ida who drowned in a lake

J is for james who took lye by mistake

K is for kate who was struck by an axe

L is for leo who swallowed some tacks

M is for maud who was swept out to sea

N is for neville who died of ennui

O is for olive run through with an awl

P is for prue trampled flat in a brawl

Q is for quentin who sank in a mire

R is for rhoda consumed by fire

S is for susan who perished of fits

T is for titus who flew into bits

U is for una who slipped down a drain

V is for victor squashed under a train

W is for winnie embedded in ice

X is for xerxes devoured by mice

Y is for yorick whose head was knocked in

Z is for zillah who drank too much gin
