C Is for Catastrophe
All Resolutions
CATASTROPHE, a final event (generally unhappy).
Description:
The letter C is illustrated with a woman wearing a mobcap and mittens who discovers that the fish tank in her garden has just fallen from its base and got broken. The full verse reads:
“Oh here’s a sad catastrophe!”
Was Mrs. Blossom’s cry—
Then—”Water! water! bring to me—
Or all my fish will die.”
