| headed straight for the door It was autumn | E |
| by the time I got around the corner oh all | F |
| unwilling to be either pertinent or bemused but | G |
| the leaves were brighter than grass on the sidewalk | H |

| Funny I thought that the lights are on this late | I |
| and the hall door open still up at this hour a | J |
| champion jai alai player like himself Oh fie | K |
| for shame What a host so zealous And he was | L |

| there in the hall flat on a sheet of blood that | M |
| ran down the stairs I did appreciate it There are few | K |
| hosts who so thoroughly prepare to greet a guest | N |
| only casually invited and that several months ago | O |
