Curious Creatures

This talented Giraffe can play In such a skillful, pleasing way, That every one who hears agrees That he is Master of the Keys; So 'tis not strange at all that he Should hold his head high, as you see.
Here's a Horse that is no shirker, But a busy, willing worker, For at the steaming washing-tub All day, like this, 'twill stand and rub. A Horse so good at washing clothes, A clothes-horse might be called, I s'pose.

CAPTAIN KINGFISHER OUT FOR A DAY'S SPORT.
Three dogs went out for a promenade All on a summer's day; There was Mr. Dog, and Mrs. Dog, And little Doggie Tray.
And as they walked down the crowded street, They were proud as proud could be, For they were dressed in their very best, As every one could see.
But a mischievous cat on the sidewalk stood, No coat, no hat had she; So she laughed at the dress and the pompousness Of the dog and his family.
