The Jingle Book
A tutor who tooted the flute Tried to teach two young tooters to toot. Said the two to the tutor, “Is it harder to toot, or To tutor two tooters to toot?”

To Hilda’s Child
A kitten went a-walking One morning in July, And idly fell a-talking With a great big butterfly.
The kitten’s tone was airy, The butterfly would scoff; When there came along a fairy Who whisked his wings right off.
And then—for it is written Fairies can do such things— Upon the startled kitten She stuck the yellow wings.
